An effort to scrap a temporary worker program will provide the first test of a broad immigration bill, as the Senate on Tuesday began tackling proposed changes. A proposal by Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., would strike the much-criticized program.

Some business groups call the plan's leave-and-return requirement unworkable.
