  Not really. You keep asserting letting immigrants be citizens is some plot by Democrats to win elections demograpgically. The entire intellectual exercise is predicated on that being somehow wrong (as opposed to the rectification of dealing with the untenable tension that millions of people have lived here for decades without a path to becoming fellow citizens... A path that can be offered by an expedient as simple as fixing the law, not pouring more resources into failing to enforce a bad one). You started this subthread with the musing "It[']s so strange how illegal immigration has been completely normalised in the minds of some people." It's normalized for the same reason school shootings (I don't like it, but ask any member of Gen Z: school shooting drills are as normal as your drills now) and Sunday football are normalized: when something goes on for decades, it's normal. We live in a country where the President's wife broke immigration law (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/melania-trump-modeled-u-s-prior-getting-work-visa https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/melania-trump-modeled-...); are we expected to take him seriously when he leads a crusade against illegal immigration? The GOP is looking at an ocean, seeing the law declares it's illegal for the ocean to be there, and trying to boil it (instead of doing the smart thing, adjusting to the reality, and building a bridge).
