Immigration deal hangs in the balance as U.S. border crisis divides the country

46

The U.S. immigration court backlog has soared to 3.3 million as an influx of migrants arrive at the southern border, with about one-third of those backlogged cases involving asylum seekers. Congress is divided on issues around border security, and attempts to reach a deal on immigration has instead resulted in prolonged negotiations between a bipartisan group of senators and the White House. Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was responsible for U.S. borders in 2013 — the last time bipartisan immigration reform legislation came close to passing, but ultimately failed. Correspondent Martha Teichner asked Johnson whether a current compromise is possible, and what that could mean for border laws today.

  9. Our country is financially unstable. We are borrowing billions of dollars a week. Does it make sense to take out a loan then don't use it for your family bit give it away to someone else??? Its absurd take care of Americans first get our house in order then we can help.

  10. VOTE FOR TRUMP so American citizens who are struggling and needing help can actually get the help they need from a president who actually cares about american citizens more than illegal immigrants , so VOTE FOR TRUMP PLEASE

  16. American citizens please get a second and third job. That will put you in the higher tax brackets and you get to pay for MORE taxes. This is a MUST. Illegal aliens are depending on YOU. Be ready to support these people for LIFE. That's ok. You didn't need your pension or benefits anyway.

  18. The people in the comments make me sick, maybe they don't see the suffering, the misery and hunger that goes on in the southern countries and yet they want no one to go to the United States, because the United States does not belong to you, it belongs to everyone. whoever wants to be there

  21. 4:50 We have lost the border, and the only way the migrant crisis is solved is when the American economy collapses. Then, America will be just 4:55 4:57 another third world country and nobody will want to come here.BTW, the cartels control the border.

  22. This man got arrested nust to defend his property . outrageous. Old geeser biden said hes banning guns and his confiscateing them starting feb 27.
    We dont have a say so any more. Something is going on yhat we dont know yet. This is insane to allow do many people illegally crossing over here. This country is not america any more.

  37. Trillions spent on foreign wars, TSA, and homeland security just for the border to be wide open to whoever wants to come in. what a waste of the American peoples live and money.

  38. President Brandon is a deshonet to the american people, the border problem can be solved just with a single strike of a pen, hes playing the american people in a foolish way. politician are dishonest and liar but Brandon has broken the all rules.

  39. The Mexican News reported that over 22 million illegals have crossed into America in the last 3 yrs, that number is from the Mexican Cartel…. But yet are media will not report on this story?

  43. I don't understand why they allow all these people over here give them everything but the people here they don't do nothing for we don't qualify for anything and for one it's overpopulated they need to work something out with their government and keep them over there
