Senators from both sides of the aisle have come together to lay the groundwork for sweeping immigration reform.
The legislation includes a path to citizenship for the country's roughly 11 million illegal immigrants and plans to strengthen border security.
The four Democrats and four Republicans behind the idea are unveiling their plan Monday.
"We can't go on forever with 11 million people living in this country in the shadows in an illegal status," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told ABC's "This Week."
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said, "Americans support it in poll after poll. Secondly, Latino voters expect it. Thirdly, Democrats want it. And fourth, Republicans need it."
President Obama will travel to Las Vegas Tuesday, where he will unveil his plan for immigration reform.
