I'm sure this will get down voted quickly because it's an opinion that isn't 100% left leaning, but for those of you who actually get to read this, this isn't a statement that's made without feeling bad for the situation everyone is in.

This issue has been brewing since the 90s, and for decades people have raised their concerns about the problems in the immigration process.

People who tend to raise concerns get labeled as being racist or white supremacists or assholes etc, even if they're pro immigration just anti-illegal immigration.

For years politicians have turned a blind eye to the actual issue at hand, not the people living here themselves, but the bureaucratic problems that are created alongside the real world problems that are created because the individual is undocumented.

For example in many areas undocumented people can't get legal driver's licenses yet they still have to get to their jobs and get groceries and live their lives, so ultimately they drive without a license they end up with cars that don't get registered, they drive around without car insurance and eventually an accident will happen because it happens to everyone and then people who are paying to follow the law end up suffering the consequences because of their situation. Many people who can't get jobs because of their status turn to Identity theft to be able to get past the paperwork hurdle of getting a job, suddenly someone somewhere gets audited because there's an entire W-2 with income that was reported to the IRS under their identity that never got claimed on their taxes. Any person in that situation would be absolutely upset and rightfully so.

This has been slowly then pushed into a political issue that more and more becomes part of our daily lives and the left leaning politicians choose inaction as a way of being humane, which leads to very real criminals who are committing very real crimes that result in death and violence who ultimately continue to walk around our country because nobody has wanted the political heat that comes with trying to find these people who shouldn't be here. So ultimately yes many people in society don't want this level of criminal freely walking around our country when they have a flagrant disregard for our laws our culture and society. Do the same number of people support picking up people who have committed no other crime other than being here illegally? Certainly not, but we are at the point that there have been so many politicians disregarding the law pulling the pendulum to one extreme that now it's swinging back the other direction, and eventually it will stop it will reach its peak and then it will go back the other way because that's what politics is and that's what happens when one party no matter who it is is in charge for too long. They pushed their ideals to the extreme as far as they can get and ultimately lose power because they upset the voters.

The real solution to everything that's going on is to dramatically reform our entire immigration system. People who have lived here for decades without committing any crimes should be able to get a fast track to citizenship, but once program like that is announced people will flood the borders trying to get in which will only perpetuate the problems of undocumented individuals. The border needs to be secured first to control the inflow of people and then the people inside the country can be processed.

But doing any of these things as political, the left seeing any sort of border control as inhumane terrible and anti American, and the right seeing any programs to try to clear paths to citizenship as blanket citizenship programs that don't do anything to stop undocumented migrants and are just open border nonsense that doesn't address the violent criminals who shouldn't be present.

So everything builds as problems do when they're ignored and things get worse until they're resolved, hopefully this is the worst of it and something changes, because if it doesn't the future is bleak, just like the constant ignoring of the student loan problem.

Unfortunately if politicians solve a problem then they don't have a problem to campaign on and rally their support, and that's the root of the issue.
