"Congressional Gridlock: The History and Crisis of Bipartisan Immigration Deals"
TL;DR Summary
A bipartisan immigration reform deal collapsed in the Senate this week as Republicans, influenced by Donald Trump, backed away from the agreement. This mirrors a historical pattern where Republicans abandon bipartisan immigration deals, citing concerns over "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants. The recent proposal, which prioritized border security over pathways to citizenship, was ultimately derailed by Trump's lobbying efforts. The politics of immigration have become increasingly complex, with a surge in migrants at the southern border and shifting global displacement trends.
