Can a Small Woman Carry a Large Man in Combat? The Atlantic Wire takes an exchange between Martha Raddatz and George Will from This Week, consults Youtube, and concludes that yes, it is pretty common (and is apparently a fetish for some people) for smaller people to carry larger people. http://bit.ly/XGHY0L

Keep those in your hip pocket as you read forward today, when senators announced the framework of a bipartisan deal… and tomorrow, when President Obama heads to Las Vegas to unveil his path forward…

Full Coverage of the Senate Deal from ABC News / Univision - A bipartisan group of senators on Monday formally unveiled their proposal to drastically overhaul the nation's immigration system, with the hope of passing a bill out of the Senate by late spring or early summer.

"We believe this will be the year Congress finally gets it done," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., one of the members of the so-called "Gang of Eight" said during a press conference on Capitol Hill.

Five of the eight members of the group - Schumer, Bob Menendez, D-N.J., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Marco Rubio,R-Fla., and John McCain,R-Ariz. - appeared at the press conference intended to outline their immigration proposal. The proposal would provide a path to citizenship for many of the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants while upping border security and cracking down on businesses that hire workers who are not legally present in the U.S.

What's the Opposition? Rush: It's up to me and Fox News to stop this thing…" - "I don't know that there's any stopping this. It's up to me and Fox News, and I don't think Fox News is that invested in this. I don't think there's any Republican opposition to this of any majority consequence or size. We'll have to wait and see and find out. But this is one of those, just keep plugging away, plugging away, plugging away until you finally beat down the opposition. http://bit.ly/WxKVBD

What About the House? SHHHH! - They're Working on a Bipartisan Agreement Too - But it's a secret. Also secret - which bipartisan lawmakers are working on it. Here's what John Parkinson reports:

"The discussions, which top aides close to the talks discussed on the condition that they not be identified, are described as "Washington's best-kept secret." Last week, House Speaker John Boehner spilled the beans on the secret group, revealing that the lawmakers had been "meeting for three or four years now" and that they are almost ready to present their proposals publicly.

"They basically have an agreement. I've not seen the agreement. I don't know all the pitfalls, but it's, in my view, the right group of members," Boehner, R-Ohio, told the Ripon Society last week during remarks that were closed to the press, as first reported by The Hill. "My theory was that if these folks could work this out, it'd be a big step in the right direction."" http://bit.ly/WnjOfg

On Securing the Border - Jason Ryan points to this: Last Thursday DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano addressed the issue of border security at an event at the Woodrow Wilson center.

Napolitano: "One of the straw-man arguments I now hear is, well, we can't deal with immigration till we, quote, secure the border, right? You've heard that phrase. Well, the plain fact of the matter is that border numbers haven't been as low since the early 1970s. We've really changed the - that aspect of the border, more manpower, more technology. We now have air cover across the entire border. We're getting to the point of diminishing marginal returns. What would really help us is if we could improve the legal migration systems so that people come through our ports of entry, we know who they are; we know where they're going; if necessary, we know how long they're entitled to stay. So we shouldn't take these things as a - sequentially. They go together. They are interlinked."
