@midnightsun Illegal immigrants are coming in by the planeload! Whouda thunk it!

The bipartisan plan, crafted in December, and rejected by Trump, because Ann Coulter insulted his manhood, was the right step in that direction.
The plan proposed by the Democrats in 2015, was as well, but that was rejected by the GOP controlled Congress, as expensive (it allocated more than $5B for border security).
The new House presented a plan, that moves us in that direction, during their first effective day on the job. McConnell refused to discuss it.
Trump's wall? No, it's not a prelude to anything other than the 2020 Presidential campaign, and Trump filed as a candidate on his first day in office.

Haven't we been through this "comprehensive" immigration policy issue/debate a few times under various administrations (the discussion of one anyway)? With the stubbornness we see on both sides, that may be a good way off.

We were making progress. Some of these issues are supported by both parties.
It is in Trump’s hands now, and he oy cares about sound bites

@soar2newhighs There is only stubbornness on the Republican side because they are obsessed with "amnesty" and white supremacy.

No, but I wish it was.
It's a symbolic thing, and funding it won't help do the hard work necessary to get something together on a bipartisan basis to deal with the real issues.
I kind of think it would make it harder, but I can see how, a victory there might bring Trumpists closer to passing their own immigration policies by destroying democratic opposition to them and getting the American public more on board with those kind of ideas.

We don't need comprehensive reform. Simply enforcing the laws already in place and minimizing the illegal crossings will deal with the problem.

We need a state department first.
That has been totally trashed.
