Would Democrats fix immigration if they take control of Congress?

Seventy-five percent of Americans, across the political spectrum, believe immigration is good for the United States. But the immigration system itself is a mess. Republicans and Democrats have tried to fix it, with little success. If Democrats win the White House or the Senate this fall, would that change?

Guests:
Laura Collins, director of the Bush Institute-Southern Methodist University Economic Growth Initiative
Jennifer Piscopo, associate professor of politics and Latino/a studies at Occidental CollegeĀ
