President Barack Obama is inviting members of Congress to the White House for a June 8 meething to highlight immigration reform, an administration official confirmed to POLITICO Wednesday.

"The meeting will be an opportunity to launch a policy conversation that we hope will be able to start a debate that will take place in Congress later in the year," the official, who asked not to be named, said.

Asked if the session would be billed as a summit or a forum, like similar meetings on health care and fiscal responsibility earlier in the year, another official said, "This isn’t a forum or a summit with outside groups, this is solely a meeting with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and both sides of the issue."

Hmm, I wonder what new proposals Obama will considering for the upcoming shamnesty bill.

He's definitely chose a fantastic time for it.

It sounds like he's simply going to meet with all of the members of both parties to test the waters. I seriously doubt that it will be a mainline issue this year or anytime in the near future. As long as the economy remains in the toilet, amnesty will begin and end with a series of discussions. Additionally, he's planning a run for 2012 so it may not happen until after the next presidential election cycle.
