The membership in the subcommittee is six Democrats to five Republicans. They are very influential on the issue. Notice that Senator Grassely, who presented the Federal E-verify proposal a week or a few weeks ago,is in the subcommittee:

Democratic Members
Chuck Schumer, New York (Chairman)
Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont
Dianne Feinstein, California
Dick Durbin, Illinois
Al Franken, Minnesota
Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut

Republican Members
John Cornyn, Texas (Ranking Member)
Chuck Grassley, Iowa
Orrin Hatch, Utah
Jon Kyl, Arizona
Jeff Sessions, Alabama

Guys, this hearing is going to be intriguing. Maybe, Durbin might suggest the combination of the DREAM Act and E-verify at this stage. It's a possibility.
