Conformting, but logically thinking we have to approach this for what it is worth, there is still many hurdles to get through but it is a sign of hope.

"The meeting will be an opportunity to launch a policy conversation that we hope will be able to start a debate that will take place in Congress later in the year," the official, who asked not to be named, said.
Quote:
Immigration reform advocates have been pressing Obama to vow to pass immigration reform this year. He has promised make the issue a priority, but has stopped short of setting a goal of getting a bill through Congress by December.
Looks like they want Congress to debate the bill later this year. However, they don't want to make promises thereby keeping their options open.

Very encouraging news. Also, if he picked Sotomayor the week before this meeting, it would send a strong message that he means business when it comes to cajoling the Latino vote.
