Please you are giving our politicians too much credit for being "conniving".
It's more likely sloth and indolence as they duck thier responsibilities in times of crisis. They are hardly "demons"...these so-called public servants. They certainly aren't "selling out" (that's dialog you learned by watching too much Hee Haw or Mannix or some other fantasy TV show.)
Let's not let them get away with this spectacle of doing nothing....Let's hold their feet to the fire. You are right! They work for you and for me!
Put 'em to work! Fix this mess! Do it now!
I agree. Build the fence and start the task of deporting these INVADERS when we catch them, imprisoning their employers and others that give them aid and shelter and cut off these INVADERS from all social services.
If these politicians do allow these INVADERS to stay here and grant them citizenship, then that is indeed a "Sell Out".
