House Republicans are getting pressure from a key Senate Republican and others as they get ready to tackle legislation aimed at overhauling the nation's immigration system.

Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, delivered a 30-page package to all 232 House Republicans on Wednesday that offers a point-by-point rebuttal to the expected immigration guidelines that House Speaker John Boehner and other leaders plan to circulate this week among GOP members.
