Martha Raddatz interviews Audrey Singer about the estimated 11 million people living illegally in the United States, and the economic force that undocumented workers exert. Her ideas include an Impact Aid Program that would offset state and local expenditures, and a New Americans Initiative to help integrate immigrants into American society.
