text: There are SO many facets to the immigration mess in the US.  I believe the blame lies primarily on the Congresses over recent decades, as by NOT acting, they have allowed an unsustainable momentum to be generated.    I'll leave it to conspiracy theorists as to whether or not this kind of inaction was intentional.
  
  The press is not helping, as it focuses almost exclusively on sad stories and perceived injustices.  They ignore the question of what all of this immigration has done to our country, what messages it sends to the young, etc.   
  
  I don't have answers, but I thimk  Trump was elected in no small part because of his emphasis on securing the borders.  Implicit in that is one THAT problem is solved, THEN we can talk seriously about immigration.   Take that one out, and he doesn't get elected, IMHO.  
  
  The rule of law needs to mean something to us.  IF the law is flawed, we need to fix it, not ignore it.  If it's ok to ignore the law here, how many other areas can we ignore?
