Hours before President Obama was set to meet with members of Congress to discuss immigration reform, the president's chief of staff sought to lower expectations about when that reform might come to pass.

White House chief of staff and former Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) said Thursday that reform might not happen this year, but it will get done.

"If it doesn't happen in the next two months, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen between now and then, before 2010," Emanuel said.

Emanuel, talking to reporters at a breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Monitor, said the Thursday afternoon meeting is the beginning of the process that will result in legislation the president can sign.

who knows, sometime is might bring up after 2 months. Like the Dream Act 2007, we never know that it was bring it on Oct.
