Immigration to bring together Hispanic lawmakers at White House
Apr 20, 2007
WASHINGTON Democratic and Republican Hispanic lawmakers are linking up to lobby President Bush on a sweeping House immigration bill.
The meeting next week at the White House will be the first time the Hispanic lawmakers have formally put aside political differences to join together on an issue. They requested the meeting with Bush.
Several Hispanic lawmakers have signed up as co-sponsors to the House immigration bill.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus used to be bipartisan, but in 1993 several Republican lawmakers broke away. Republican Hispanic lawmakers and members of Portuguese descent formed their own group in 2003.
Bush has been pushing for a comprehensive immigration bill, but movement on any legislation has been slow. The White House and supporters are trying to build support for some of the main concepts Bush wants.
The president backs allowing illegal immigrants to legally work in the U-S and meeting certain requirements like learning English and paying fines to eventually become permanent legal residents.
