NightSide - Could The Next Speaker Affect The Immigration Debate?

BOSTON (CBS) - When John Boehner announced last week that he will be stepping down as Speaker of the House, it caught members of both parties by surprise. But there has been a long brewing rift in the Republican Party over how to approach a number of issues, including immigration. If Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the current Majority Leader, is elected as the next Speaker as many expect, what will that mean for the immigration debate? Ira Mehlman, media director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, joins NightSide to give us his thoughts.

Originally broadcast September 30th, 2015.
