The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on two competing immigration bills next week. The bills are meant to find a solution for Dreamers – the young immigrants who were brought to the United States as children – while addressing broader immigration reform. This comes as the Trump administration is cracking down on illegal immigration with a new “zero-tolerance” policy, resulting in families being separated at the border. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) visited a group of asylum-seeking mothers whose children were taken from them at the Mexican border. She tells Soledad O’Brien what she heard from those women and why she says neither immigration bill is a viable solution.
