There was good news last week for the Senate proposal to overhaul immigration, as two Republicans struck a deal on border security with the group of eight senators working on the bill. Now it looks likely that the proposal will see a vote before the Fourth of July recess.

Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, one of the architects of the deal, will join CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday to talk about his plan to strengthen the borders by nearly doubling the patrol force and completing 700 miles of fence. Senator Jeff Sessions Republican of Alabama, will share his opposition to the immigration overhaul.

Discussing the National Security Agency and the scope of its surveillance, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California and the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, will also appear on CBS.

ABC’s “This Week” will feature an exclusive interview with the director of the N.S.A., Gen. Keith B. Alexander. Also on the program will be Representative Joaquín Castro, Democrat of Texas; Representative Mike Kelly, Republican of Pennsylvania; and Representative Tulsi Gabbard, Democrat of Hawaii, who is also a veteran of the war in Iraq and will talk about women in combat.

Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate and a member of the bipartisan group working on immigration reform, will be on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” along with Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, the ranking Republi! can on the Senate Homeland Security Committee; Representative Mike Rogers of Michigan, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee; and Representative Loretta Sanchez, Democrat of California.

Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York and a leader of the Senate group looking at immigration, will join CNN’s “State of the Union.” Also on the program will be Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, discussing his views on immigration reform.

Like CBS, “Fox News Sunday” will offer a glimpse of the divisions within the Republican Party over the proposal to overhaul the immigration system, talking to Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a member of the group of eight, and Senator Mike Lee of Utah, who opposes the bill.

Gabriel Gomez, the Republican candidate for John Kerry’s Senate seat, will also apear on Fox, just days before the special election in Massachusetts.

Focusing exclusively on immigration reform, Univision’s “Al Punto” at 10 a.m. Eastern will air interviews with five of the eight members of the Senate group promoting an overhaul to the immigration system: Senator Michael Bennet, Democrat of Colorado; Senator Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona; Senator Robert Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey; Mr. Durbin; and Mr. Schumer.

Telemundo’s “Enfoque,” which airs at noon Eastern, will broadcast Sunday from the annual convention of the League of United Latin American Citizens. It will also have interviews with Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida and a co-author of the immigration reform proposal, and Representative Xavier Becerra, Democrat of California, who has his own proposal in the House.

Carlos M. Gutierrez, former commerce secretary and former chief executive of Kellogg, will join Bloomberg’s “Cap! itol Gain! s” at noon Eastern to talk about the economic implications of immigration reform. David Cote, chairman and chief executive of Honeywell, will discuss the nation’s fiscal troubles.
