With the immigration-reform debate shifted to the GOP-led House, President Obama is set to meet with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Wednesday, the same day Republicans in the chamber plan to gather in private to discuss how they might proceed.
In the past, the 27-member Hispanic Caucus has been the source of some guidance to Obama, who has promised to push for an immigration overhaul. But now the group finds itself wrestling internally as it faces external pressures over whether a bill passed by the Democratic-led Senate went too far in including harsh border-control measures to gain Republican backing. The possibility that House Republicans may push to bolster those security measures further is causing more concern.

Obama's meeting with the Hispanic caucus has been set for 11 a.m. Wednesday. An exact agenda of what is to be discussed was not immediately available
