Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he suspects Congress will get immigration reform done by June or July, but only through a piecemeal approach, not a comprehensive package. "If the President is willing to take 80% of what he wants, he can get something done this year," he said on CNN. The President is expected to make an impassioned plea for immigration reform tonight.

Asked when he knew to stand up or sit down during the speech, Gingrich joked on CNN, "You can't stand for something so outrageous that everyone in your own party will kill you."
