SEGMENT #1
The Immigration and Naturalization Service has begun a new 
program aimed at reducing the numbers of undocumented workers.  
Under the recently adopted strategy, the immigration service is 
foregoing raids and deportations.  Instead, the agency is auditing 
personnel records across entire industries, then pressuring business 
owners to fire undocumented workers. 
The INS hopes that by removing employment opportunities, 
undocumented workers will have no option but to stay home. 
Gerry Hadden reports from the Yakima valley in the state of 
Washington.  (7:36)

SEGMENT #2
In Nebraska, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service began 
late last year a program called Operation Vanguard aimed at 
removing undocumented workers from the meat-packing industry. 
The program is a departure from previous efforts that enforced 
immigration laws with raids, one plant at a time.
Keith Ludden of Nebraska Public Radio has our report.  (5:42)

SEGMENT #3
As we near the end of this century.  Sometimes we unexpectedly 
hear an echo from its beginning.  And as writer Katie Davis tells us  
the refrain resonates most strongly in the imagination.
