President Joe Biden made a wistful comment at his State of the Union Tuesday that there was a time when Congress found common ground on immigration reform.
“Let’s also come together on immigration and make it a bipartisan issue like it was before,” Biden said.
It has been three decades since Congress passed large-scale immigration reform. Since, executive orders, smaller targeted bills and measures, and court rulings have squeezed through different policies for people coming to the United States.
