DHS Secretary: "Is immigration reform possible? No."

Published | Video Starts at 00:38

Is there, is there potential to fix this? So let me unpack that. Coming from 13 years, that was a long time in the House and in the Senate. Listen, We haven't had actual immigration reform since 1959. There's a reason it's political. Anything that becomes political, everybody in this room is political. We understand that when it becomes political and becomes a red issue, a blue issue, it means it's dead. (00:38–00:42)
