Immigration takes back seat to big issues

Don't count on immigration overhaul reaching the Senate floor anytime soon.
With an economy in a shambles and a host of pressing foreign-policy challenges, analysts predict the once-hot topic will have to wait in line for attention.

"Immigration reform is a large, important, critical issue that is crying for attention, but relative to what this administration will have to do with the economy and jobs, it pales in comparison," said Demetrios Papademetriou, president of the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that advocates comprehensive immigration changes.

Wouldn't it be great if all the immigrant rights groups pressed for dream act to be passed within the first hundred day?
