The latest immigration border crisis with underage immigrant children crossing the frontiers could be the Republicans' most revealing stance on immigration reform yet.

The Republican party has been consistent in blocking everything that President Barack Obama has put forward as it relates to immigration reform with the exception of DACA and the executive order issued for the Dreamers. No one can deny that this is causing divisions in their own party, and not every Republican agrees with the stance that they have taken against immigration and President Obama.  

In the editorial of the El DiarioNY, they admonish the Republicans' new narrative against immigration reform, calling their ideas ridiculous. According to the editorial, the Republicans are attempting to make a connection with the Dreamers and the mass exodus of the youth to the U.S. The Republicans claim that by deporting the Dreamers, then it would deter people from crossing the frontiers.

In addition to the Republicans' uncorroborated ideas, the editorial adds that while they have been complaining about the immigrants coming into this country, they have not done anything to resolve it. The one thing that they have approved is DACA, out of all the many bills that they have blocked from passing.

Meanwhile, Arizona State Rep. Sen. John McCain said he believes that the Republicans have to change their stance. McCain stated last Thursday that the only way the Republicans can defeat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 is to pass immigration reform, Time reported.

McCain said he believes that, at this moment, Clinton is "odds-on favorite right now." While speaking at the "Politics on Tap" event hosted by CNN and National Journal, McCain claimed that there is a long list of people who could defeat Clinton. In the list, McCain included New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Time reported.  

McCain added that he expects that the political atmosphere will become more competitive for both sides. But if the Republicans do not implement any kind of immigration reform, then he does not see any way how the Republicans will really win a general election, Time reported. Since 2013, passing and enacting immigration reform was the main policy recommendation for the Republican party, but now they have blocked every action since then.

Amidst the child immigrants coming to the U.S., President Obama has recently asked Congress for a near $4 billion to deal with these children in crisis. The near $4 billion budget that Obama is asking for, and what Congress must approve of, the Republicans want in exchange to enact laws that could speed up the deportation process for the unaccompanied minors, USA Today reported. As of October of last year, more than 40,000 children have come from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to cross the border.

McCain sided with the children. He feels that of those children who are seeking asylum should go through the proper channels. McCain said, "The fact is that we cannot have an unending stream of children, whether it'd be from Central America or any place else, to come into our country with all of the strains and pressures that it puts on our capabilities," USA Today reported.

Not every Democrat agrees with Obama's stance on immigration reform however. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., does not like the idea of the children returning home and fears that the children would have nothing to return to. Another Democrat, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, has also criticized the White House for its indecisiveness, USA Today reported.

"On the one hand, they say we want to send kids back as soon as possible. Then they turn around and say, well, but these kids are escaping violence and drugs and sexual abuse and gangs. How do you reconcile those two?" Harkin said. "These kids need to be protected."

The El DiarioNY editorial suggested that the Republicans are manipulating DACA to punish and exploit the Dreamers so that they are deported. While this sounds like a bit of a reach, it only proves that the Republicans would exploit this crisis to harass the White House.

Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, offers some sound advice that could help both political sides. Castro, while speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," stated that everyone should be careful when it comes to amending the law so that the children could be deported easier. He says that the best way to help these children is to offer them an opportunity to present their case in a court for asylum, the USA Today reported.

"Those are decisions for an immigration judge to make, not for the president or myself or any member of Congress," Castro said.
