    I just want to point out that, reading between the lines, the solutions that would make a difference to change immigration are:

    • Solve climate change
    • Undo the compounding effects of a war that destroyed a country
    • Jail people who hire undocumented immigrants

    Your first solution requires Republicans to believe in climate change (and Independents like Joe Manchin not to get in the way and water down the bill that passed). Your second solution requires investing billions in developing countries to right our wrongs and your third sounds like a Republican talking point.

    This is why I push back on the narrative that oversimplifies immigrataion as Republicans and Dems equally don’t care about immigration.
