Podesta: Immigration issue ripe for progress

"Fareed Zakaria GPS" this Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET.

Fareed Zakaria speaks with John Podesta, White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, about the likely priorities for an Obama second term.

I think the Republicans are back on their heels, having really gotten clobbered amongst Latino voters. And I think they’re ready to deal, and I think you'll see them come forward with immigration reform. But I think as important to Hispanic voters is going to be what can [President Obama] do on education reform, what can he do to keep the cost of college down, what can he do to get jobs growing and try to find a way forward, again, in this gridlocked city.

I think you'll see a big emphasis on that. It'll happen early. And I predict he'll be successful, because I think the Republicans are ready to deal now.
