Obama to meet with Hispanic Caucus

President Barack Obama will meet with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus at the White House on Tuesday.

The meeting will likely address immigration reform, among other issues, a day after the president met Monday with grassroots groups on the issue.

The meetings serves as an indication the White House is doing work on immigration reform even though it does not appear it will be brought up immediately in Congress.

Obama has urged Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation in the wake of Arizona's passage of a controversial law requiring state law enforcement officials to ask for identification from people they suspect are in the country illegally.

But Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), one of the foremost proponents of comprehensive reform, said last week that Democrats do not yet have enough support to move the bill through Congress.

Some observers have said that moving a large item such as immigration reform could be very difficult with the midterm elections approaching.

Most Republicans have said that they want the southern border secured from drug cartel-related violence before they take up legislation that would give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.

The meeting also comes as the Obama administration considers a lawsuit against Arizona for its immigration law, which they say could lead to ethnic discrimination against Latinos.
