The President is headed on the road to Nevada to push for immigration reform.
His trip comes one day after a bi-partisan group of senators laid out their own framework for an immigration bill. The Senate version would provide a path for America's estimated $11 million illegal immigrants to one day become citizens. It would also require stronger efforts to secure the border, allow more guest workers and require a way for employers to verify they are hiring legal workers. The President is expected to call on the Senate to act quickly to pass the measure.
