Immigration bill backers try again despite jobless rate - Washington Times: "Democrats on Tuesday begin their new push for an immigration bill, hamstrung by the image of legalizing millions of illegal immigrant workers at a time when the unemployment rate stands at 10 percent -- more than twice what it was the last time Congress tried to act.

'It certainly will confuse the debate a lot more, but at the end of the day what we have to understand is fixing this system will be good for American workers,' said Eliseo Medina, executive vice president of the Service Employees International Union, which is one of the major advocates for legalizing illegal immigrant workers."
