once again, they changed the face of america. with the lifting of a ban against asians, and highly restricted national quotas, the largest numbers came not from europe, but from all over asia, africa, and the middle east, and from latin america. today, congress and the country are again locked in controversy. this time over the fate of 12 million undocumented and illegal immigrants. whether to grant them a path to citizenship, or leave them in legal limbo, or as one presidential candidate suggested, ask them to repatriate themselves to mexico and other countries. as steve roberts researched his book from every end of the earth, and sandy younger his fresh blood, they interviewed dozens of immigrants to america from all over the world. steve and sandy talk to us about the lives of these immigrants, how they have fared here, and how they've affected america. sandy? >> thank you. i -- i set out on doing this because -- do you want me to tell how i came to write this book? >> if that's what you want. we want to know what you learned

because of america's porous border, radical islamists were able to establish a presence in america. this, of course, culminated in the 9/11 terrorist attacks in new york city and washington, d.c. in the aftermath of 9/11, there's quite a bit of fear that sleeper cells might spring into action and although these later transpired to be overblown, there have been a number of plots that have been uncovered. some of the deadly attacks to date have come from solitary individuals who have self-identified with the global jihad. back in november of 2009 major nidal hasan went on a shooting rampage at fort hood, texas, which killed 13 people and wounded 31 people. a few months later, faisal shahzad attempted to detonate a car bomb in times square in new york city. to be expected, authorities are concerned. in march 2011, congress held hearings called by representative peter king on the topic. another worrisome prospect is that islamist terrorists might strike jewish targets in america, because much of the jewish diaspora supports israel, muslim terrorists occasionally attack jewish targets ou
