Spring 2002: Security becomes the national focus. A Border Security Bill must precede immigration reform, but there's a mysterious hold-up in Congress. One Senator is at the bottom of the delay—Appropriations Chairman Robert Byrd, Kennedy’s most feared colleague. Then the White House proposes a small, immigrant-friendly provision be added to the same stalled bill. The unexpected detour creates more trouble every day it lasts. Senator Byrd holds the key to the deadlock, but what is his demand? *Filmed in Washington, D.C. and Kansas.*
