From Huff Post Hill:
ETHICS HICCUP - In Roll Call tomorrow, from Humberto Sanchez: "An immigration reform group handed out a report that included a fundraising solicitation at a press conference last week hosted by three Republican Senators -- a move that may have been a breach of Senate rules. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) joined forces with law enforcement officers at a Thursday press conference to argue that the Obama administration's directives would put agents and citizens at increased risk. But at the event, which was open to the public, a representative with the Federation for American Immigration Reform, also known as FAIR, attended and handed out a report just before the press conference began...A spokesman for Sessions said none of the Senators were involved with the report or its distribution, and that the thrust of the press conference was to hear from law enforcement agents who were concerned with the White House's immigration policy."

Newsweek: McCain Tried to Stage an Intervention With Romney
If there is one guy who knows the danger of veering to the right on immigration in a presidential campaign, it's John McCain. The once pro-immigration Republican became Mr. Fence in the 2008 election. And he paid dearly with Hispanic voters who abandoned the GOP in droves en masse. According to Newsweek, his advice is being largely ignored.
