Fear Factor

Immigration reform seems to have risen to the top of most lawmakers' agendas, but some worry that it is just talk. A majority of the districts represented by Republican House members are majority white. As a result, immigration reform, beyond tightening borders, may not be of concern to them. In addition, a 2006 immigration reform bill never made it through the Republican-led House.
