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,

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
