California Congressman Jeff Denham became the first House Republican to join Democrats in co-sponsoring a broad immigration overhaul bill that would provide a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants.

Other Republicans in Congress may also be considering what they can and can't afford, now that a Latino political advocacy group has vowed to oust lawmakers who stand in the way of immigration reform.
