Once again, liberals are completely missing the underlying issue. In 1995, Clinton's SOTU address clearly stated that we have to be responsible with immigration...and we aren't. In fact, liberals have done a complete 180 from his intent.
Apropos, the bigger issue is the hypocrisy. During the years of 2017-2021, Trump's term, liberals went NUTS on immigration. They demonized Reps for the number of migrants crossing. They demonized Reps for the conditions at the border. They demonized Reps for not doing something to stop families from being separated.
We are only 3 years removed from then and Dems have, again, done a 180. Even though the numbers are VASTLY higher, all of a sudden it's not a problem. There have been multiple news articles (from both sides of the aisle) about conditions being bad still but Dems have toned down that rhetoric significantly. Families are still being separated, although the last instance of anything about this was 2022 admittedly so that may not be as much of a problem or Dems are just hiding it, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
The point is, liberal hypocrisy is what is causing the entire problem. Reps haven't changed their tune. W wanted tighter restrictions. Trump wanted much tighter restrictions. Their rhetoric didn't change based on who is in the POTUS seat. This is ALL easily verified if you do just a little research. And, to discuss the immigration bill and how some say Reps are against a bi-partisan plan...well, Dems were completely against Trump's plans because of TWO issues, very similar to the situation today but reversed. Dems didn't like the wall and didn't like the treatment they say migrants getting, so they shut down EVERYTHING Trump was trying to do even though they agreed with most of it.
Again, liberal hypocrisy is no longer ruining the country, it has full on ruined it.
I know both sides are going to have their opinions of how things need to be solved. But liberals, beyond any doubt and fully on record, change their position on immigration depending on if they are in control and if they aren't. I fully admit both sides do this on different topics but, on this topic, it is the Dems who are preventing true solutions because they won't do what is best for the country, they are only interested in doing what the Dem leaders want done based on how they feel at any given POTUS term.
