Segment #4: AHORA LATINOS NOW: AUDIENCE RESPONSE

Early last week, we went to San Antonio and held a town hall meeting. Our panelists included former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, anti-illegal alien activist D.A. King, law professor Lee Terán, and San Antonio's Archbishop José Gomez. We took questions from members of the audience -- and one of the issues that came up was a kind-of 'Marshall Plan' for Latin America.
