Here's to the march on the 21st.
We never know, we might actually do it this time

According to the LA Times, immigration reform is on the President's agenda next week. A meeting will reportedly take place on Monday with Sens. Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham to discuss immigration reform legislation. The bill is expected to closely follow the Obama Administration's original immigration agenda.

The timing of this "renewed effort" does not go unnoticed. The LA Times article says that Obama wants "to advance a bill through Congress before lawmakers become too distracted by approaching midterm elections." But let's not forget there is also a huge immigration rally planned for March 21st in Washington. I think the timing has less to do with midterm elections and more to do with the thousands of immigration activists that will be knocking on Obama's front door in a couple of weeks. Perhaps he thinks he'll look better if he can refer to the Schumer-Graham meeting and say, "We haven't forgotten about immigration reform and I'm working with lawmakers to get legislation into Congress as soon as possible," rather than have nothing to show the supporters to whom he promised immigration reform in his first year.

Hopefully Obama means business and not just talk to get us off his back.
