    One side wants people to legally immograte, and are for changing the system to avoid as much backlog and frankly, bullshit in order to legally immigrate now.

    What side is that exactly? Definitely not a side that has any representation in Congress. Despite all the virtue signaling from Democrats, they’re more than happy to keep things the way they are, take advantage of undocumented workers for cheap labor in their businesses, and deport the rest. Obama held the record for deportations up until recently. Jack shit has been done to streamline the process which can take 20+ years despite these people living and working here all that time.

    In centuries past, people would migrate up here seasonally to work the farms before going back home for the rest of the year. It wasn’t until our bullshit immigration laws came about that those migrant workers would stay all year because it became too difficult to cross the border with all the roadblocks that were put in place.
