WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham pressed President Barack Obama on the importance of border security at a rare White House meeting Tuesday and came away praising the president’s commitment to overhauling the nation’s immigration laws.

“I believe that the president is very committed to comprehensive immigration reform,” McCain, R-Ariz., told reporters afterward. “Now does that mean he’s committed to anything we do? No, he has his positions on the issue as well, but I believe he is sincerely desirous of comprehensive immigration reform.”
