In all honesty, it just might get fixed faster with Dems back in control!I'm thinking the Dems might have an interest in a closed border. They have the currently largest minority in their back pocket (blacks) and there is a danger that the more family-oriented Hispanics could start supporting the GOP. In any event, the Hispanic vote is up for grabs now. If they can seal the border, they will still own the biggest minority vote lock, stock and barrel. And they will also help to nail that down even more, as there is plenty of antagonism between the black and Hispanic minorities in terms of competition for government benefits.
Maybe Hillary wasn't kidding about that border security thing!
Immigration doesn't appear to move Democrats the same way it moves Republicans. Of 35 Democratic members of Congress who responded, just two mentioned immigration as the top issue for constituents, while another person specifically disregarded immigration, saying his or her constituents were talking about "all of these issues except immigration."
One of the two Democrats who did cite immigration as the top constituent concern said it is a difficult balancing act. "The burning question of 'What can we do to simultaneously support the plight of undocumented immigrants while still keeping our streets and borders safe?' has never been more prevalent," the lawmaker said.
