And the Democrats have zero plans as to how:
All I see from the left side of the aisle is more ways to prevent immigration. And once again, liberals have no clue that real lives are on the line and use this as a political football. Not nearly as bad as conservatives, but still, I'm not hearing how we deal with these folks once they're here. All the Dems got is finer-honed blocking plans, nada about the humanitarian crisis.
Notice how your comment says nothing about the real humans involved?
Democrats have proposed a path to citizenship. They have proposed improving the process of immigrating to the United States by adding judges and streamlining the process. They support a strong social safety net. They support improving working conditions. All things that help with the root causes for a lot of the problems in our immigration system. And all of which have been shut down by the GOP.
Hell, the only reason the Democrats are mainly talking about enforcement and not fixing the system in its entirety right now is because that's literally the only thing the GOP would entertain when they negotiated the deal Trump tanked.
I don't think it's fair to claim the Democrats are using the issue as a political football when they're actually operating in good faith. We need to stop allowing Republicans to get elected and sabotage the process.
Trump's plan for the real humans involved is to deport them all. Which would take so much time that it would involve concentration camps.
