It is fair to worry that politicians of all stripes are reluctant to actually solve problems because they are so used to the fight? Or that they know that continuing the battle helps them rally supporters and campaign contributions, whereas real compromise solutions don’t fire anybody up?
It has long seemed to be that such is the case with shoring up Social Security and Medicare, and probably has a lot to do with the constant loggerheads over guns.
Such is clearly the case with immigration. Specifically the Dreamers. Specifically the matter of how to replace the order, issued by President Barack Obama and canceled by President Donald Trump, allowing millions of people who were brought to the United States as children to stay here, work, go to school, be the best Americans they can be, want to be and basically are, lacking that bit of paper.
