The thought that people here are saying no relief over the wall is ludicrous. There are 800K f***ing lives on the line. Use left side of your brains and Be realistic.

I don't think any of us live in a fairyland. We are all dealing with a problem that keeps us grounded in what's happening in the real world. But realistically, I don't see the Dems agreeing to the wall. It's too expensive and hated by their base and they wouldn't sacrifice it for just 800000 people who won't be able to vote for at least 5 years. Chain migration is a similar issue. There are plenty of new Democratic voters that will exist by keeping chain migration in place.
I realize that you think that as a liberal arts major, I'm supposed to be touchy feely. But I also have an applied math major. Rationality is really important to me and I try really hard to make it clear when I'm opining and when I'm stating facts. But I also care about nuances of individual peoples' lives and try to empathize with what they're feeling, something that I feel like isn't really considered in right wing politics.
