I agree with this 100%. In regards to immigration in general, it's absolutely pathetic that the sides haven't been able to make an agreement towards strengthening enforcement of our immigration laws and some sort of pathway for immigrants already here. Sometimes I just think the parties don't actually want to get things done. Just want to play to their base.

Every major political party in every democracy except the US can get shit done on that and Pelosi flat refuses to even address it but claims she is a proponent for sustainability. Schumer is a puppet and a wimp I have never seen a senator from NY literally the financial and social capital of the world with an inability to drive change. Their leadership and the push to the coastal elite as the base has driven the loss of blue collar and rural voters. Both of whom are widely ignored by both parties. I really get why they overwhelmingly went for Trump, he has the only one to speak directly too them. This might seem like I don't like them because they aren't liberal enough and maybe so. I have no problem with moderates but with out deviation from the norm progress cannot be made.

D.C. is the home for old and stale. Agreed. Both sides. Voters have to be more willing to vote out incumbents.
