Yesterday was a big day in immigration “reform” news. President Barack Obama and Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) were supposed to meet to show a united front on moving the issue forward. Schumer has been facing pressure to produce something ever since he delayed pushing legislation back in September of last year in search of more supporters.
