Politico reports that several members of the Gang of Eight, the bipartisan group of senators that shepherded a comprehensive immigration reform bill through the Senate in 2013 only to watch it stall in the House a year later, are ready to try again. Several influential lawmakers, including Gang of Eight leader Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), see another opening for immigration reform in 2017, especially in light of the upcoming presidential and congressional elections and the U.S. Supreme Court’s deadlock in United States v. Texas. (source)
