Immigration is a significant issue this campaign cycle.

Some voters want tighter border security and more deportations. Others call for policies that are, as they say, "fair, firm and free of cruelty."

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden's recent executive actions grant some immigrants permanent legal status.

How will all this affect the election in a state where one in five residents is an immigrant?
