Here's the solution: Enforce the law. Secure the borders. Immigrants must apply first and get approval before entering the country. Nothing wrong with that.
For decades the "bi-partisan" party has done everything it can to replace American voters with Mexicans.
That’s right, the Congress has acted and there are laws now on the books. The Left is not getting the law as they want it so they blame Congress for not giving them what they want.
Secure the border.
Both groups like to take it upon themselves to tell us how OUR Country should be run.

EXACTLY, Jim... The “hot, ugly mess” is this administration and Congress who refuse to follow the law and protect its citizens.
I don't buy the premise that the system is broken. There is a process for legal immigration. The left claims it's broken because it limits the number of immigrations allowed annually and they think that everybody who applies should be admitted immediately. That can't be allowed to happen.
There is no Latino Problem at large.
The majority of whiners are the cheaters, demanding a handout.
They came here in violation of the laws of every country on the planet.
No country has an open ended policy of allowing anyone, just anyone, to their country unlawfully and with no legal imprimatur.
Try entering any country without a passport and visa.
You will be turned away at customs or if you are found in their country, with no permission under the law, you will be jailed and eventually deported.
It’s clear we can support these illegal imigrants but, they commit so many felonies and are basically line jumpers in a buffet line.
You would expect if you pulled this in a restaurant, everyone would rightfully object and management would send you to the back of the line.
If you objected rudely and militantly you would be ejected and told to come back and follow the rules.
That you are here unlawfully violates our sense of fairness and further, dilutes the lawful immigration process, creating resentment for those who have followed the rules and insult those of us who are Americans by birth.
So, get to the back of the line or GTFO and try again.
Your line jumping is just not tolerable, much less acceptable.
Yup!
That is the beginning and the end of the problem.
Nothing matters and nothing should even be considered until/unless THIS happens
Enforcement and a secure border would be two good ways to start.
Republicans should submit two bills. The first is to seal the border. The second is immigration reform will commence once the border is sealed.
Put. The rats on record.
“the broken immigration system”
That meme needs to be attacked. If I park my car by the side of the freeway and walk away, it isn’t broken down. It’s abandoned. Our immigration laws aren’t broken; they have been deliberately abandoned by both parties, going back to the 1980s.
No—first, “immigration reform” is nothing but amnesty and some more goodies for American employers, and second, they’ll simply claim the border is sealed, then move on to the amnesty part.
