RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop tumor cells from growing. Treating a patient's white blood cells with interleukin-2 may stimulate them to kill tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy together with biological therapy works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma that has not responded to previous therapy.
