Here's a timeline of Congress' failure on immigration since President Bill Clinton left office:
A pair of migrant families from Brazil pass through a gap in the border wall in Yuma, Ariz., to reach the U.S. on June 10, 2021, after having crossed from Mexico to seek asylum.As President Joe Biden heads to the southern border for his first visit as president, the nation remains stuck with outdated immigration laws and border enforcement — and little chance for major change.
Congress' failure to pass any meaningful immigration reform stretched to more than two decades in the last session, which ended last month. Over and over, attempts have collapsed — including bipartisan efforts and those with strong presidential backing. Instead, most changes on immigration have been achieved only through funding bills, small provisions in other legislation, regulations and executive authority.
— President George W. Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox, friends from Bush’s days as governor of Texas, held high-level discussions on a comprehensive immigration reform plan that they hoped would build a guest worker program and provide legalization for what were then about 8.5 million undocumented people in the U.S. Both made the issue a top priority, with Bush making Mexico the destination for his first foreign visit and Fox attending the Bush's first state dinner.
