ABC's Charles Gibson anchored from Washington DC. His newscast led with a stand-up by George Stephanopoulos that elaborated on last week's Exclusive by CBS' Sharyl Attkisson about the secret bipartisan talks in the Senate on immigration legislation. Stephanopoulos checked off the participants--Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, Jon Kyl of Arizona, Kenneth Salazar of Colorado, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania--and concluded that "right, left and center are represented in the room." The key to the deal, said Stephanopoulos, is a new category called a Z Visa. It would grant residency to anyone who is already in the country illegally. Under a Z Visa, residents would be assessed a $5,000 fine, be given eight years to return to their country of origin, apply there for a new visa and then "would be on the road to permanent residency and citizenship."
