As President Joe Biden heads to the southern border for his first visit as president, the nation remains stuck with outdated immigration laws and border enforcement — and little chance for major change.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.
Here's a timeline of Congress' failure on immigration since President Bill Clinton left office.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel there's plenty of blame to go around to both political parties.

Sadly, I do not think Biden will be able to accomplish much. Getting anything through Congress now will probably be impossible. We are in a stalemate for the next 2 years at least.

With the best possible out come in The last November election being a Republican win in the senate going down in flames. The "Big Guy" still had the veto power, and we all would still loose. If we can't return this nation back to a balanced budget system like many of our states we have no future. We just can't keep giving everything away and expect the working men and women of America to foot the bill.
