Why It Matters
Immigration reform has stalled in Washington as Democrats and Republicans have struggled to reach consensus on what remains one of the most sharply divisive political issues facing the country.
Immigration remains one of the most critical political issues, particularly amid President Donald Trump's mass deportations and increased immigration enforcement, which has drawn scrutiny from immigration advocates.
