What good are any policy decisions when one party runs to the cooperating media that loudly and proudly broadcasts that "The Democrats will let you in and take care of you"?  Seriously, you can trifle, argue, nit-pick and debate until you're blue in the face about "policy", but until the entire congress as a united front makes it clear that people must enter the country by the rules, nothing will change.

If you think that has a big impact on this, you're very much wrong. For one, the messaging from the Democratic party is that the rules have to be followed. The messaging that the mainstream Democratic party is for open borders comes from conservative media, not the Democrats themselves. Second, the issues that push these immigration waves have little to nothing to do with the messaging from our politicians. It has much more to do with situations in their home countries. Do you really think the vast majority of the people trying to enter this country give two shits about what you're talking about? They are trying to escape terrible situations where they are coming from and risking everything to make it happen. Everything. They aren't paying attention to the petty bickering going on in this country.
