Civil Rights Activist Opposes Amendment To Census That Questions Citizenship

“Sen. Vitter comes in now at the last minute proposing an amendment that on it’s face appears innocent but has the impact indeed of bringing the entire process to a halt," Henderson said. "Inflaming public attitude about the illegal immigration issue in ways are terribly unhelpful to the country as a whole." (0:20)
