I thought this article in Politico really summarized where immigration legislation stands right now in Congress. The key issues discussed in here is Menendez and his push for more bi-partisanship legislation dealing with immigration. Another key aspect of the piece is the Republican's reaction to Menendez's push. Check out the article here:

I just found reading all these updates in this article intriguing because of our discussion of modern immigration in class and what Tichenor discusses in his book. I know immigration in this country has not relatively changed since 1965 with the Immigration and Control Act. This article made me question if we are possibly heading for a change in contemporary immigration politics. With the tough elections ahead and the lack of bi-partisanship, I know it will be difficult to see major changes, but one can hope.
