Problem

Though many Democrats and Republicans agree that the United States' immigration system is "broken," the two parties, and their candidates, hold sharply different views on why it is broken and how it should be fixed.

Republicans are more likely to say that immigrants have a negative effect on American society, crime and the economy, while Democrats are more likely to say that immigrants coming to the United States make American society better in the long run, a Pew Research Center study found.

Right now, an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants live, work and raise families in the United States.

Should they have a path to citizenship? Or should America "oppose any form of amnesty for those who, by breaking the law, have disadvantaged those who have obeyed it"?

And with the world facing the largest refugee crisis since World War II, should the United States welcome Syrian and Ukrainian refugees and other migrants - or are they too great a threat to safety because of the possibility of terrorism?

This isn't a new problem. Go back in history to the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882), the National Origins Act (1924) and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, and it's clear that the United States has been wrestling with immigration issues for a long time.
