Top Republicans will meet with President Barack Obama today after warning him that changing U.S. immigration policy without involving Congress would invite “big trouble” and make a future compromise impossible.
Obama invited House Speaker John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican in line to be the next Senate majority leader, to the White House -- along with other leaders of both parties -- to discuss agenda items he wants to see completed before the new Congress takes office in January.
