President Obama will continue his push for immigration reform on Tuesday with two different White House meetings.  The first will be in the morning at 11:00 AM, with progressive and labor leaders including Arturo Rodriguez of United Farm Workers, and the second, in the afternoon at 3:20 PM, will be with a dozen business leaders from major corporations, including The Coca Cola Company's Chair and CEO Muhtar Kent and Cargill's Chair and CEO Greg Page.

The White House said the separate closed-press meetings in the Roosevelt Room are part of the President's ongoing "dialogue with outside leaders on a number of issues – including immigration reform and how it fits into his broader economic agenda, and his efforts to achieve balanced deficit reduction."  Click here to read the White House fact sheet on the President's proposal for comprehensive immigration reform.
