Republicans expect to try to attach the proposals to an almost $60 billion war spending bill. The subject was expected to come up Tuesday during a closed-door session with the president. The economy and jobs also are expected to surface there.
During his presidential campaign, Obama promised to push legislation paving the way to citizenship for some 11 million illegal immigrants. He has said more recently, though, that Congress has little appetite for a massive bill on the subject this election year, so lawmakers are looking at ways to enact more incremental changes.
