Plus pretty much anything 1 President does, the next one elected can eliminate; provided they have a house majority that is united.

Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives - they are all the same. Their ideologies take precedence over what is best.
Agree 100%
You guys are spot on! I wish we could just get rid of all the parties and end their bullying and corruption.

This is partially correct. I don't know that I would say it's the majority of people, but I know several people that have brought over family on tourist visas and then just never went back to their home country. There really are no repercussions for doing that - and until there are, things aren't going to change.
That's why you need comprehensive immigration reform, not just a wall. Deny benefits like free education, free health care, stop the under-the-table illegal immigrant labor, and disincentive coming to America illegally and people will follow the rules.
