Chuck Schumer, Paul Ryan Hold Private Talks on Immigration
Other Democrats, Republicans also talking to each other
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer has held private talks on immigration with Republican Reps. Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy. President Barack Obama's emissaries have spoken with House GOP leadership about an overhaul. Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have also chatted on the House floor about immigration.
It sometimes seems like House Republicans are in their own universe when it comes to rewriting the nation's immigration laws. But since late last year, key House Republicans have been meeting with House and Senate Democrats as they try to reach a deal.
