CBS News) The "gang of eight" senators working on a comprehensive immigration reform bill that includes a pathway to citizenship could present the legislation by the end of this week, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday on "Face the Nation."
Joined by his friend and fellow "gang" member Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Schumer said the staffs of the four Republican and four Democratic senators "are in a room working 12 hours a day, taking all the agreements that we've come to over the last three months, and turning them into legislative language, specific legislative language."

CHARLES SCHUMER: "Immigration Reform & Control" (Amnesty) in 1986 & "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" (Amnesty) in 2013.
Heading the congressional fight to pass the 1986 Amnesty, Schumer warned, "We are here to solve problems before they become crises. Sure enough, if we do nothing, our immigration problem will become an immigration crisis."JOHN MCCAIN: Keating-5 in1989 & Gang of 8 in 2013.Different cover names and different times - but still "brokering" the "bi-partisan" Amnesty deals to sell out Americans.
Saying it would not stop the flood of illegals into the country, McCain voted against Schumer's 1986 Amnesty. After his predication and vote proved so correct, how is it that McCain then moved to the wrong side of the issue? When he got caught in 1989 with the gang of 4 Democrat grafters in the Keating-5 scandle, to save his political career, he signed his soul over to the Democrat media. He's been dancing their tune ever since.Different gangs and different times - but still "crossing the aisle" to sell out Americans! And McCain's membership in the 1st gang figures as critical as the 2nd in any 2013 immigration "deal."
It was sickening to watch Schumer and McCain heaping praise on each other for this ‘big accomplishment’.
The MSM is giddy, keeps saying over and over ‘The GOP needs this’ (the deal includes citizenship for illegals)
McCain keeps whining about GOP filibusters.

All I need to know about the Congressional bypass ‘deal’ is does this unenforceable immigration ‘law’ include the sentence “MEXICANS, GO HOME!” ?
Conspiring to destroy our nation once & for all (except for the elitists) and enjoying every minute of it. We need a great, bloody battle Am Rev II or CW II to wipe these liberal, socialist bastards away! Both demoRATs & traiterous repubs!
Treason. Trial followed by public execution.
I repeat. Treason. Trial followed by public execution.
Votino vote scam artist---Bronx Democrat Nelson Castro, a Dominican Republic native---led a life of crime before landing in the Albany legislature.
IS HE A US CITIZEN? Nelson Castro, the Bronx state assemblyman at the center of NY's latest political corruption scandal — got into office even though he had a record of criminal arrests in two states and had lied in court about voter registration fraud at his Bronx apartment.
BACKSTORY Bronx Democratic Party leaders anointed Castro---a former staff member for State Sen. Adriano Espaillat, a Dominiocan Republic native; party bosses were eager to elect a young Dominican politician in the South Bronx, where the Dominican population was growing rapidly.
He was a candidate who had led a life of crime:
<><> a 1989 felony arrest in Michigan for larceny. Michigan court records show that 19-year old Castro pled guilty to a misdemeanor conspiracy and was sentenced to 180 days probation.
<><> In 2003, Castro was arrested again in New York, this time for grand larceny. He was accused of pocketing $4,900 in unemployment checks while holding a job. He pled guilty to petty larceny, repaid the money and was slapped with three years probation.
<><> Then in March 2008, Castro was arrested a third time — for driving in East Harlem with a revoked license and as a scofflaw who owed more than $3,000 in parking tickets.
Even more disturbing revelations followed.
<><> During the hearing before Special Referee Mary Lynn Dlabola, evidence emerged that 10 people registered to vote from Castro's one-bedroom apt including Castro's fiance, his cousin, his aunt and uncle, two relatives of his fiancée, and three people who were key figures in Nelson's Castro campaign. Most had registered to vote only months before.
But Castro lied---and testified that he had no idea all those people were registered there. Asked why so many people were claiming to live in the same tiny apartment, Castro's lawyer claimed at one point that it was a "common practice in the Dominican community for families to take in relatives."
ARE THE REGISTREES US CITIZENS? Unbelievably, Castro also told the court he "did not know" a man who was actually his coordinator of volunteers. That campaign coordinator was a votino scam artist, and had 15 other people registered to vote at his home address, as well.
The investigation led to a sealed indictment against Castro for perjury. To save himself---he got wired-up and allowed to run again---and be elected. (NY Daily News factoids.)
Et tu, Marco?
The eight gangsters should be required to tell the American people WHY we need their bill. What does this bill do for Americans?
Those four republicans don’t get MY VOTE !
This sounds like one of those scenes from Kevin Spacey’s House of Cards on Netflix
Yes, by all means, lets legalize millions of people to drive down wages, add to the unemployment lines and put on the public dole.
Screwing the American people the Bi-partisan way. Or working together to destory America.
I know what you mean. I was expecting the two scum bags to start swapping spit right there on the tube.
Wonder when and where their next vacation is planned? /S
If Obama got nothing on guns and immigration (esp out of Senate) it would be a huge failure on his record, and libs would be demoralized.....but MCCain is clearly on his side trying to save him.
