Comment on For all the years it has existed, all the money spent on immigration and deportation why hasn't the US come up with a better system? And become an isolated country for a while to help itself?

Becoming isolated has literally never helped the US.

As for why hasn’t the immigration system been fixed. Here’s the problem: everyone that goes to Congress has a different idea of how to fix it. And everyone thinks their idea is best. And no one wants to work together and hell no to working with the other side.

Imma be real though homie, the two sides are not the same in their beliefs of how to handle it and thats where the problems arise. One side wants people to legally immograte, and are for changing the system to avoid as much backlog and frankly, bullshit in order to legally immigrate now. The other side wants them to illegally immigrate so they can deport them to prisons in worse countries (potentially making a buck off it too) and hunt them down using a privatised militia cosplaying as government agents (because them you have a privatised militia willing to take orders from just your side, and that leads to total authoritarian control). So its not like a “we just dont like the other side and thats why we refuse to work with them”, its more that the other side is kinda fucking evil, and working with them just means that evil gets to spill out all over the place.
