    We haven’t touched immigration laws for 33 years. We are essentially working off of 1965 framework. While we have far more people trying to immigrate, we also have a political party that enjoys using it as a wedge issue. Rather than taking more children from their parents, IMO it is the time to act and not wait for the perfect occasion

      This is no kind of problem, we have plenty of space and material wealth to support a lot more people here, we just lack the political will to see it distributed efficiently

      we also have a political party that enjoys using it as a wedge issue

      Which is why we should be reminding people that this isn’t a problem, instead of validating that shithead political party by pretending like it is with trash legislation like this

      With global climate change set to get really bad in the next century, this is the absolute wrong time for us to be listening to the selfish idiots who think they can just hide behind a wall while millions of people die and that that won’t come back on them or their descendants in any way
