WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are talking immigration reform with President Barack Obama, including plans to deploy thousands of National Guard troops and drones to tighten border security.

Republicans expect to try to attach the proposals to an almost $60 billion war spending bill. The subject was expected to come up Tuesday during a closed-door session with the president. The administration's response to the Gulf Coast oil spill, as well as the economy and jobs also are expected to be discussed.

During his presidential campaign, Obama promised to push legislation paving the way to citizenship for some 11 million illegal immigrants. He has said more recently, though, that Congress has little appetite for a massive bill on the subject this election year, so lawmakers are looking at ways to enact more incremental changes.

The efforts to stop the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico were also discussed, Republican officials said, as was illegal immigration. Mr. Obama had been encouraged by Senate Democrats to push that issue with Republicans in the hope of winning some allies to move ahead with legislation later this year.
i highly doubrt Obama would be trying to deport all the undocumented... just a thought though...
