Congress won't fix it because they both benefit from the current situation. The GOP gets a pool of cheap labor for their business oriented constituents and they get a wedge issue to fire up their base. The Dems get a growing voting block that's reliably in their corner and the GOP reaction allows them to paint the GOP as racist. The problem is there's a limit to how many immigrants any country can absorb in a certain time frame until it's no longer the country people immigrated to. My biggest concern isn't ethnicity as some would automatically assume, it's lack of a shared language. Once a nation no longer has one shared language you no longer have a nation.
