Schumer: We should have a draft immigration bill by the end of the week

If all goes as planned, the “Gang of Eight” will unveil their immigration legislation at the end of the week, Chuck Schumer said on CBS’s Face the Nation. “Over the past two weeks, we’ve made great progress. There have been kerfuffles along the way, but each one of those thus far as been settled,” he said.

Schumer explained that no bill will be put forth until all eight senators agree upon its contents, but added, “Hopefully, we can get that done by the end of the week.”

Appearing alongside John McCain, the two “gang” members lavished praise on each other. “Chuck Schumer is a man of his word,” said McCain. Schumer praised McCain’s leadership on the immigration issue and in the negotiations.
