During workplace roundups of illegal immigrants, youngsters sometimes become separated from their parents and are taken into government custody, in some cases because the parents fail to disclose they have children. The children can be held for days or weeks before they are reunited with their parents on one side of the border or the other. In New Bedford, Mass., state officials said dozens of children were left stranded at schools and with baby sitters when more than 300 workers were arrested at the factory. (AP Photo/The New Bedford Standard Times, Peter Pereira)Will the next president be able to build majorities in Congress to enact a new immigration law, even after fruitless attempts in 2006 and 2007?  Msnbc.com breaks down the issues and where the candidates stand.
