daca was meant to be temporary until Congress got its act together. Congress never did. Thus, it turned into this 2 year purgatory frankenstein thing.
Congress needs a complete overhaul. They can't get anything done so all these stupid workaround solutions keep happening

Less the fault of the programs and more of the fault of an impotent congress. The primary policy to blame is the filibuster for being an unnecessary block to legislation and secondarily monied interests can just buy congressmen at very cheap prices. $2,000 for a member of the house and significantly more for the senator with previous deals lmfao. Oh yeah and thirdly the lobbying system where monied interests can send people to help the overworked senators and house members craft legislation that is favorable to the business. That's always a great way to craft legislation.

Lots of people were gaslit by Democrats. But I think everyone in here is plainly aware of the law. The way around a poorly performing immigration system wasn't to do mass parole for everyone and anyone and their dog but to enforce the law at the border and craft a new system. Yes its a little "hypocrita" to pull up the ladder behind us, but the ladder was/is going to be pulled up someday. In other words we have to prioritize our own benefit first. Can't save the drowning if you drown with them. Technically the ladder was already pulled up recently and we missed the boat from certain perspectives. So much for legalization for all.
