Immigrant Advocates Back Senate Panel Plan

By SUZANNE GAMBOA

WASHINGTON (AP) - Immigrant supporters claimed their first major victory since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks after a bipartisan group of senators approved legislation that would give millions of illegal immigrants a chance at citizenship.

``It's a big day for us. We may not have a lot of big days, but this is a big day,'' Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, a pro-immigrant group, said after the Senate Judiciary Committee approved a package of immigration and border security measures Monday.
