contains a path to citizenship, still viewed by some as amnesty. Instead 
they prefer to coalesce around consensus issues like border security, temporary 
workers and workplace enforcement.But if the Senate's comprehensive approach 
faces obstacles in the House, the House's piecemeal approach won't fly in 
the Senate.Two of the lead authors of the Senate bill, Sens. Chuck 
Schumer, D-N.Y., and John McCain, R-Ariz., rejected the piece-by-piece approach 
at a breakfast meeting with reporters Thursday hosted by the Christian Science 
Monitor. Schumer and McCain said that any time an immigration issue is 
advanced individually, even something widely supported like visas for high-tech 
workers or a citizenship path for those brought as children, lawmakers and 
interest groups start pushing for other issues to get dealt with at 
the same time."What we have found is, ironically, it may be a 
little counterintuitive, that the best way to pass immigration legislation 
is actually a comprehensive bill, because that can achieve more balance 
and everybody can get much but not all of what they want," 
Schumer said. "And so I think the idea of doing separate bills 
is just not going to work. It's not worked in the past, 
and it's not going to work in the future."The House has always 
loomed as the toughest barrier to passage of immigration legislation, partly 
because many rank-and-file House Republicans don't feel a political imperative 
to act. Some GOP House me

be there for future retirees. Among voters under age 65, opinions are 
almost evenly divided: 46 percent think there will be enough money to 
pay their full benefits, while 50 percent think it's unlikely.Twelve percent 
think it is "very" likely there will be enough money for full 
benefits.Meanwhile, the notion of means-testing benefits as a cost-cutting 
measure is a no-go. Fifty-nine percent of voters say everyone who paid 
Social Security taxes should receive an equal amount when they retire. Just 
over a third -- 36 percent -- would rather see the benefit 
based on financial need.Poll Pourri ...Is the nation's job situation is 
getting better or worse? Take your pick: 42 percent are optimistic, while 
44 percent see darker clouds. Either way, just over half -- 51 
percent -- disapprove of how Obama is handling job creation (43 percent 
approve).Partisanship plays a big role in those views: 71 percent of Democrats 
approve of Obama's record on job creation, while 81 percent of Republicans 
disapprove.And 60 percent of Democrats think the situation is getting better, 
while 63 percent of Republicans say it's getting worse.Overall, a 60-percent 
majority is dissatisfied with conditions in the U.S. By comparison, 79 percent 
were dissatisfied in the days before Obama took office in January 2009.Some 
40 percent of voters are currently satisfied with the way things are 
going in the country, up slightly from 37 percen
