Why would the US become an isolated country? In all of history, the only time America hasn’t wanted to be a global power is when there’s responsibilities attached to that role, or the consequences of their own actions come back to haunt them. They literally kicked down Japan’s door when they tried to isolate and demanded their people be let in. They blew up Haiti, repeatedly, for declaring independence, they wiped democratic governments out of Guatemala, Panama and El Salvador, they’ve routinely disrupted South American countries, and when people come knocking looking for work after you burn down their house NOW you want isolation?
America is like those deadbeats that want to play house, beat their wives and have a dozen kids, only to find out being a husband and father is work and then dip. Or worse, the serial rapist with a breeding kink. Your president is about to invade the rest of the continent brother, there aren’t going to BE any borders anymore.

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.
