What those proclaiming "I love Democracy!" "Rule of Law" "Constitution" forget.... major legislation, especially on something as divisive on immigration takes compromise.
Sometimes you need to give to the other side, in order to get.
OR....you can stay on the internet, get likes and recs - get nothing to show for it but a joke of a border and lack of orderly system that would meet the country's needs.
Many Western Countries do immigration based on THEIR OWN needs.
American can do the same.
Sure we all have ancillary stories about their landscaper, or in this writer's case - their 1st generation immigrant parents, who were fluent in French when they landed in Canada decades ago, and became English sfluent before legally coming to America - created 4 small businesses, retired in their early 50s.
Nobody's anecdotes serve as a pure roadmap.
The only thing certain is: It needs to be done better, and BOTH sides have to buy in which will require the intolerant, and the former academic and corporate types - to actually compromise in the real world.
The real world is not always on campus, the segregated executive cubicles or the retirement portfolio statements.
