That’s what happens when you try to work with the Mdmh’s of the world.
Your Dems are actually Republicans, you never negotiate from a point of strength even when you have the leverage, and you're complicit in shifting the overton window to the right every time Republicans take power. You all fold faster than Superman on laundry day. But please, explain to me how necessary it is for us to fund Trumps wall, give a shit load more money to ICE, and basically overturn the Legalization and Naturalization Act of 1965 to deny legal immigrants of color. All in order to partially restore funding for CHIP which Republican congress just recently stopped.That’s what happens when you try to work with the Mdmh’s of the world.
Having a physical border with a 2nd world country that's 1000 miles longer than the great wall of China makes it impossible to control the border. What can be done is to balance the ingress/egress in a reasonable humanitarian manner with a positive economic cost/benefit ratio.without being able to control your borders, no immigration reform, or even policy, makes much sense

Palma is actually right, it was one of the reasons floated that trump advisors sabotaged a deal including a Wall because once it’s gain it’s gone from the equation.
"We were ready to go before," she said. "We sold our house, we had plane tickets and were prepared to leave (for Amman, Jordan) when they said we did not have to. Then they do this. Are they deliberately trying to be cruel?"
Fidaa then asked that she and her husband be permitted to leave the country on their own, instead of him being jailed until ICE deported him.
Adi came to the United States in 1979 on a visa and later married an American citizen. Based on that marriage, he was given a "green card," which allowed him to stay in the United States.They were divorced less than a year later.
After the divorce he moved to Youngstown, where he started several businesses, including two gas stations. He and his second wife, Fidaa Musleh, moved to Brazil for three years. When they returned to the United States, his green card was taken from him because he had been out of the country for too long.
Fidaa Musleh tried to sponsor her husband for a new "green card," but was denied because immigration officials said his first marriage was "a sham." His first wife initially signed an affidavit to that effect, but then later signed a second affidavit confirming that the marriage was legitimate and said she was pressured by agents to say it was a sham.
Leopold contends his first marriage was valid, and noted that Adi never had a chance in court to prove it.
Krasner acknowledged that he cannot stop federal immigration authorities from operating in the city. But he said this proposal — which also will seek to provide visas or other protections for immigrants who are victims of or witnesses to crimes — would help bolster citywide trust in local law enforcement.
And Arnold, formerly an immigration attorney, said that the idea was not to wipe away criminal charges because of someone’s immigration status — but to evaluate whether changes in charging or sentencing decisions could provide an outcome similar to one that a citizen would face, without punitive immigration-related consequences.
Chuck Schumer grew a backbone and withdrew the offer to fund the wall. Good.
