According to this,Xavier Becerra & Zoe Lofgren have been invited to the June 8th immigration summit held by the President.Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to call-up these lawmakers to push the President for Dream act as a stand alone since they are co-sponsors in the House.
Quote:
Kitty Felde: An administration official says the June 8th conference will gather lawmakers from both parties for a “substantive discussion” of immigration issues that will lead to a larger debate later this year. That same official says it would be a “small group.” Two prominent Democrats from California say they were invited: the head of the House Immigration Subcommittee Zoe Lofgren of San Jose and Nancy Pelosi’s right-hand man, Xavier Becerra of Los Angeles.

But arguably the most experienced Republican on the issue hasn’t been invited. In 1986, it was House Member Dan Lungren’s job to round up GOP votes for the last sweeping immigration bill passed by Congress. But so far, the White House hasn’t tapped the Sacramento Republican for his institutional memory. The White House official who confirmed the meeting says he hasn’t seen the list of invitees.
Can't help but laugh. The White House probably wants to reserve Republican seats for Republican Senators who have more power than their House counterparts. Rep. Flake might be a House Republican they can invite if he's on board with immigration reform.

For Democrats, Sen. Schumer will definitely be invited. Sen. Menendez, Durbin, and Rep. Gutierrez will probably be invited as well.

Oh I forgot to add, Great Find, Ianus!

I'm on it. I think that we should focus particularly on Durbin, as the others tend to be more pro CIR than DA.
