New 'Gang of Eight' on immigration

Make way for a new Gang of Eight.

An octet of senators has begun to meet to discuss immigration reform, multiple sources told POLITICO. It’s a possible sign of progress on what’s expected to be a top legislative priority on Capitol Hill next year.


Sources said the fledgling group’s members include: Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, and Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah and Sen.-elect Jeff Flake of Arizona.

Some of the senators are already publicly teaming up on the issue. For instance, Schumer announced on “Meet the Press” shortly after the election that he and Graham were joining forces again on immigration, reviving talks from 2010 when the duo had outlined a four-point comprehensive reform proposal.

Sweet!!

I tried deleting my own but no avail this can be used as the main thread instead.

Thanks Mods.

McCain has come a full circle now.

Too bad Senator Kennedy is dead, I wish he is among one of them.

Awesome news.

Are John McCain and Lyndsey Graham secret fuck buddies or something? You never get one without the other do you?

..Anyways, this is good news. Lets see how long it lasts.

Mike Lee is a shocker.
