Senate Democrats to huddle with Obama on immigration today
The four Democrats involved in a bipartisan Senate effort to overhaul the nation’s immigration system will huddle with President Obama on Wednesday to brief him on the group’s progress.
An aide confirmed the Wednesday meeting, which will take place at the White House. Administration officials have so far had only limited interaction with the Senate effort. Senators involved in the group have said the White House was aware of Senate talks but did not take part in negotiations over a statement of principles, released as the group’s first major public push last month.

A political group grope?

What’s bipartisan about four Democrat senators briefing Obama? Why aren’t the Republican senators sitting in on this?

Do they bring their own kneepads or does the WH provide them?

Are they going to invite Rubio also, to give them talking points about his ‘instant amnesty’ plan?

Obama doesn’t want an Amnesty bill passed out of Congress.
He’s going to demagogue the issue and make such absurd demands that that Republicans in Congress, in spite of their wild desire to capitulate to the golem-droid at every opportunity, will be left with no choice but to block any bill that would satisfy him.
Then he’ll do Amnesty by Executive Order and dare anyone to stop him.
