Three years after efforts by Congress to reform the immigration system went down in flames, the issue is slowly re-emerging on the national stage, as two senators from the opposite sides of the political aisle work on crafting another bill.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. are set to appear Thursday at the White House for a meeting with President Obama in which they are expected to seek his guidance on charting a path forward.
The reform effort blew up in 2007 after more than a year of work when Republican critics branded the effort as "amnesty" and the tide of public opinion turned strongly against the bill.
Graham, in fact, was booed at a Republican gathering in his state in 2006 for his work on comprehensive reform with Ted Kennedy and John McCain. Sen. McCain is conspicuously absent from the current talks; Graham remains at the table as the lone Republican supporter.
(snip)
"Senator Graham has been very good and generous and courageous in helping us move that bill forward. ... He has always said he wants a second Republican."
(snip)
One Republican senator who is thought to be in play is the newest member of the body, moderate Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts.
(snip)
Brown told Fox News he has not yet been contacted by either Schumer or Graham, but he is willing to take a look at their bill.

This has to be tearing McCain up. He wants this so badly but he has his “conservative” mask on right now trying to defend his @$$ from the Hayworth onslaught.
Oh come on. I like her but her support for McCain is wrong. She should say I support him then drop it. McCain is evil.
I suppose they will give amnesty to all the Al Qaeda operatives that have slipped into the country while these Socialists have been plotting our overthrow.
Every American needs to watch the movie below, buy copies of it and send these copies to everybody they know: family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, church friends, everybody:
We need to send all the illegal aliens (especially the criminals and gang members) to New York and South Carolina.
McCain will be caught in a no-win situation when Graham and the Rats try to ram through amnesty.
Then J.D. can politically destroy him!
Just support Hayworth, regardless of what Sarah does.
You’re right. McCain is letting loose all his cannons right now while J.D. is hunkered down. McCain isn’t getting any hits at all. Arizonans don’t read the comic book-sized Arizona Repugnant anymore so they aren’t going to be able to help him. Juan is in big trouble.
“How does anyone support either of these arrogant men?”
The same way the network hired Diane Sawyer, who worked for Nixon for about 4 1/2 minutes as an intern or coffee fetcher, and they reminded anyone who would listen of this profundity for the next 30 years.
The MSM stresses that “*Republicans* support this (fill-in the blank, e.g. immigration reform/making Soylent Green out of Americans 65 and older, etc.)” and they may precede the party affiliation with the adjective “moderate” which means: like Phil Spector, but lacking the integrity to actually switch parties, finding they can do more damage to conservatives masquerading as the good guys/the GOP.
Uber RINO Lindsey PingJuan McCain is scum like his pal Graham-nesty. Mark Levin talked about how evil Lindsay Graham-nesty is and McCain is the same.
Any RINO supporting McCain is no friend of mine.
Maybe for you it's a non-issue. Not me pal.
He must never receive a single penny from ANY GOP source and should not be allowed to run under it's banner.
In perpetuity.
Cap n Tax. Amnesty.
Both ANATHEMA to the conservative cause.
Where are the prospective GOP Presidential candidates on this issue? Where is the GOP Congressional Leadership?
I want this bill on the floor of the Senate and the House ASAP. Sooner if possible.
I want to know who will vote for, and agin it.
A friend of my enemy can not be trusted.
That pearl of wisdom might get scorned in the political realm but it's commonsense that works in the real world.
Really. McCain’s behavior in this situation is despicable. He was all over this the last time around, despite what his constituents thought, and want they wanted. He was for it because it was “the right thing to do.” He was defeated in the presidential election. Now he is running for re-election to the Senate, and strangely quiet on the amnesty issue because HE STILL KNOWS WHAT HIS CONSTITUENTS THINK, AND WHAT THEY WANT, and doesn’t want to upset them to the point that gets him dumped from public office altogether. Once safely re-elected, he will be all for amnesty once more. Hypocrite.
Wonder what John Kyl is doing this time? Voted against amnesty in 2006, campaigned against amnesty during reelection in 2006, vote FOR amnesty in 2007 after reelection. \
You can make that statement for precisely one person.
just remember DC scumbags, she is the turn the other cheek one in the family...
There is no doubt in my mind, none whatsoever, that McCain stays out of this only because he’s running for reelection. I bet it won’t take him 5 minutes to rear his ugly head in support of amnesty once reelected—something I hope doesn’t happen.
McCain is playing “conservative” for the moment. Despite that, he can barely hide his contempt for conservatives. If reelected, it will likely be his last term. With nothing left to lose, the real McCain will be out in FULL force. Any voter who votes for him, thinking he’s going to perform in office like he acts on the campaign trail, is extremely naive.
I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised to even see McCain join his loony wife and immoral daughter in the battle for homosexual marriage. He’s always had to moderate his actions in the past, knowing he’d have to face voters again. This time? No more.
