The group includes Democrat Bob Menendez, the guy who reportedly regularly visits the Dominican Republic to have sex with underage hookers.
Hot Air reports:
Who’s in the group? Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez, Marco Rubio and, er, Lindsey Graham and McCain. So you know this bill will be solid.

Yes, that is some interesting group. Bob Menendez, who as Right, Wing-Nut says:
Senator Menendez Loves Him Some Teenage Whores...
It was bad enough, when we first reported on this story, to find out that Senator Bob Menendez (D-La Raza) was cheating Dominican prostitutes out of money:
Two women from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that
Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this
year.
In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter
at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000 acre resort in the Dominican
Republic. They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100.
One woman said Menendez wooed her with compliments like
“beautiful” before they slept together. The other woman recounted, with
apparent bitterness, receiving from an intermediary only $100 of the
$500 she had been promised.
“He lies,” she said of Menendez. “He says one thing and does another.”

More on immigration below:
Their timetable would aim for a bill to be written by March or April and potentially considered for final passage in the Senate as early as the summer. Proponents believe adoption in the GOP-held House would be made easier with a strong bipartisan vote in the Senate.
The working group’s principles would address stricter border control, better employer verification of workers’ immigration status, new visas for temporary agriculture workers and expanding the number of visas available for skilled engineers. They would also include a call to help young people who were brought to the country illegally as children by their parents become citizens and to normalize the status of the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants.
But obstacles abound. For instance, Rubio has said he believes immigrants who came to the country illegally should be able to earn a work permit. But he has said they should be required to seek citizenship through existing avenues, and only after those who have come to the country legally.
Democrats and immigration advocates fear that approach could result in wait-times stretching for decades, creating a class of permanent legal residents for whom the benefits of citizenship appear unattainable. They have pushed to create new pathways to citizenship specifically available to those who achieve legal residency as part a reform effort.
It is not yet clear if the Senate group will endorse a mechanism allowing such people to eventually become citizens — something Obama is expected to champion. Schumer said it would be “relatively detailed,” but would not “get down into the weeds.”
A source close to Rubio said he joined the group in December at the request of other members only after they agreed their effort would line up with his own principles for reform, which he outlined in an interview with the Wall Street Journal three weeks ago.
.
OMG - what a line-up. Rubio is a RINO and the other Republicans are far, far worse. As to the Democrats - a rotten lot through and through.

Nobody is going to stand rock solid for the rule of law. Look what happened to Palin and the Tea Party.

I keep thinking of Shakespeare's play Hamlet. "There's something rotten in Denmark." The rot is at the top, of course.
