Why do you think immigration reform is at a stalemate? A big reason is that large corporations such as meatpackers and construction contractors exploit illegals and pay them next to nothing. If you ever really reform immigration policy the cash cow for these corporations would die.

And who do the leaders of these corporations support politically? Largely Republicans. So, despite their big-talking about building walls and all of that other BS, they don't represent parties that want to reform the status quo because it would likely cost them more to employ these people.
