Penny There agreement by both major parties, that we need new immigration rules. There has been no alteration since the 1980s. There was agreement on a new approach to immigration developed by members of both parties and proposed to be voted upon in the senate, it had bilateral support. POTUS then told the senate that he did not want the problem of immigration solved before he became POTUS again. The bill died. Lok around, there are crops rotting on the ground for lack of pickers, we do not have enough workers to fill the positions needed, thus we need immigrants.
We are a country of immigrants. In the early 1900s there was an opendoor policy, our grandparents came to this country without the red tape needed now, so those who said their grandparents, came here and struggled ignore the facts.
We used to be able to "import" workers for positi0ns that no US citizen would take, or was qualified for, under the H1 Visa. That was a "legal" foot in the door to the US. I paid $3-5,000 in fees to accomplish that. To show how anti-immigrants of all kinds that the present administration is, they have raised that fee to $100k!
That may b=not have completely answered your question, but maybe it is enough to have you look at the positions taken on the total issue of immigraion.
