Coming up with an appropriate, fair, and managable immigration policy is a very difficult problem. That doesn’t mean there is a “crisis”. Every statistic shows clearly that there is no crisis. However, the Republican party and Fox News have done an incredibly effective job of convincing a large swath of the American people that there is one. Blaming a country’s problems on “others” is a historically proven way of easily whipping up frenzied support.
I wish that the two parties could discuss the policy details like adults instead of screaming at each other. Both sides are painting the other as so extreme… Republicans claiming that democrats want a Muslim invasion and want to destroy America… Democrats claiming that republicans are shipping refugees to concentration camps. Coming up with a reasonable policy is too difficult to possibly be achieved in a toxic political environment like this.
The only crisis is the insane rhetoric.
