"He's very trustworthy," added Hunter. "And he's got the word of the White House and the president and we're going to do it in about two months."

Hunter said that the Republican leadership has assured Rep. Sensenbrenner that "we would get this up on a bill that had to pass the Congress as early as possible. The White House is on board to get this driver's license fix in place."

Hunter blamed "the Senate leadership" for obstructing the driver's license reform, which would ban illegal immigrants from obtaining the key identification document.

"I think they had a number of fairly liberal members on the [Senate] conference who banned the driver's license fix," Hunter said, without naming names.
