Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday said he thinks that Congress can get immigration reform done by March 2011, if not by the end of this year.
While speaking at a fundraising event for the Irish Lobby for Immigration reform in New York while on recess, Schumer praised his former negotiating partner Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), noting that Graham took his cues from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
"While Lindsey Graham is a great partner and he loves our bill," Schumer said, he really said his mentor was McCain, according to IrishCentral.com.

In 2007, McCain attempted to push through a comprehensive immigration reform bill alongside the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) But this year, facing a primary challenge from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R), McCain has been more skeptical of current immigration legislation in Congress.

McCain has been more focused on border security recently, cutting a campaign ad in which he calls on the government to "complete the danged fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Some Republicans have scoffed at McCain's new stance, citing his previous position on the issue. McCain has said that he would support immigration reform as long as the border is secured first.

It’s your ball, JD Hayworth!
Schumer is wrong.
With a GOP majority in the House and a GOP margin in the Senate that can stop any bill I do not think any thing on this matter will pass congress by next March.
McCain has to go.
America to Schooooooooooomah: “The Democrats will be toast by November.”
Why don’t they just vote on it now so we can see who to get rid of in November.

Let’s see, November 2010 comes before March 2011 - Lets geterdone folks.
McCain and Graham are 100% for amnesty. I hope the people of AZ throw this RINO bum out.
I am sure McCain will do the ‘right’ thing, he is a man of honor :)
Chuckie, your party ain’t gonna be in control next March, I hate to burst your bubble.
I’m sure some form of amnesty will be rammed through right before the election.
Illegals are doing the job Americans won’t: VOTING LIBERAL DEMOCRAT!!!!
Will Biden sign it? With any luck Obama, Pelosie and Reid will all be in jail by then.
U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;
