Arizona Republicans Jeff Blake and John Shadegg and Democrat Ed Pastor
have introduced a bill creating a "W" visa that would allow up to 50,000 nurses to enter the US each year in non-immigrant status. The bill has been introduced previously and it is not clear yet that it will be marked up in the House Immigration Subcommittee.

OBAMA SIGNS BILL EXPANDING HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM TO IMMIGRANT KIDS
This is the first immigration bill the new president has signed. The bill will expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program. The bill will allow states to provide insurance to the children of legal immgrants who have been in the US for less than five years. It also loosens identification requirements for those enrolling, something immigration opponents argue would open the program to people illegally in the country.
