Protesters gathered Monday in front of Senator Jon Kyl's office. Those who showed up near 24th Street and Camelback are angry over the Senate's immigration bill. They claim the bill gives illegal immigrants amnesty. The group "Mothers Against Illegal Aliens" organized the protest.

Senator Kyl is in Washington to discuss the proposal with other senators. Several elements of the proposed package have come under fire, including letting millions of illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. and giving those with higher education and skills more preference than those with family ties.

SEATTLE (AP) - About a dozen members of the Minutemen organization are demonstrating outside the Federal building in downtown Seattle.

They are carrying signs that say "No Amnesty" and "Enforce our laws."

The group's Hal Washburn says if Congress passes proposed immigration reform it would sell out the American people.

The White House is hoping the compromise measure makes its way through the Senate by Memorial Day. But some senators are planning on spending this afternoon outlining their concerns.

The bill would toughen border security and create strict work rules to prevent illegal immigrants from getting jobs. Illegal immigrants could get on track toward permanent residency after paying fees and fines.
