Congress faces jam-packed agenda as Democrats confront divisions over legislative policy and strategy

Congress will return to Washington this week with a host of problems to address -- but no clear legislative paths to resolve any of them.

On immigration, the two parties are at sharp odds over what to do about the growing crisis at the Southern border. On mass shootings, there are discussions about a possible bipartisan approach to expand background checks and other gun legislation, but whether a deal can be reached that can pass Congress remains doubtful. Advancing a centerpiece of President Joe Biden's agenda -- the $2 trillion-plus infrastructure and tax plan -- is expected to take months as Democrats remain divided over details of the policy and the precise parliamentary procedure to employ to pass it.
