Many Republicans are still averse to any reprieve for America's 11m illegal immigrants, despite the dreadful showing this stance earned them among Hispanic voters at last year's elections. But the momentum in favour of reform is clearly building. Charles Schumer, one of eight senators seeking to draft a bipartisan bill to reform America's immigration system, claimed every major policy issue has been resolved. The "Gang of Eight", he continued, would unveil their proposal in days; it would putter through the Judiciary Committee this month, and reach the Senate floor in May. Schumer's crowing was prompted by a deal on visas for low-skilled workers between the two pressure groups to which the gang had delegated the subject: the AFL-CIO, America's biggest confederation of trade unions, and the United States Chamber of Commerce, which represents business. Immigration advocates seem confident that the hurdles will be overcome, because the political logic in favour of a deal is so strong.
