Aug. 10, 2013— -- The battle over immigration reform came to a head this week in south Texas.

But before they got a chance to do that, a shouting match broke out with opponents of immigration reform.

Watch the clash, and find out why Farenthold is one of the members facing the most pressure over immigration reform this August.
