Washington (CNN) Jared Kushner's proposal to reform the US immigration system has yet to be completed or released, but it's already getting an icy reception from some immigration groups.

"I -- I think that's -- that's something we could discuss with Congress in the context of improving TVPRA to -- to eliminate the double standard that now applies for unaccompanied children coming from contiguous countries, Mexico and Canada, versus non-contiguous countries," McAleenan said.

But if history serves as evidence, the path forward for an immigration plan won't be an easy one.
