Both Democrats and Republicans think that the stalemate between President Donald Trump and Congress over immigration can help them in November's congressional elections, and each could be right.

Democrats think it can help them reach minorities, young people and suburban moderates repelled by Trump's anti-immigrant stances.
Republicans believe his promises to crack down on immigration could energize disaffected conservatives.
