Republicans had their chance to fix "immigration issue" and they did nothing...

...except steal money from their supporters to build a wall and criticize their political opponents.

They talked a lot and did very little.

Even when they were in charge of both branches of Congress and the White House, they could not fix the immigration problem.

It becomes a much better "issue" for them when they are not in charge.

especially to help and benefit their fellow Americans, but they decided the "rich" were more important.

When everyone has a different definition of what comprehensive entails.

Let's not forget their answer was a POLICY of separating babies and small children from their mothers to deter migration. Child abuse was their solution!

I've said for years, the ONLY way to deter immigration is to arrest people who hire them, but they're not going to do this to rich, cheap ass, white American men are they?

When in power, the GOP either does nothing or takes deliberate steps to make matters worse. Once out of power they criticize Dems for working to clean up all the messes that were handed off. This cycle has gone on for decades, and it's unfortunate that much of the electorate seems to be devoid of long-term memory.
