Anybody who thinks immigration is the most important issue facing the United States has been conned.
The conman wanted something to gain your confidence.
He done found out immigration works.
It triggers people who want somebody to blame, somebody to hate.
It worked.
Trump supporters got conned.
Immigration is not that important.
The economy is doing fine.
Even with all the immigrants.
What the heck is the big problem if the economy is doing so good?
It's legalized corruption. That's a far bigger issue.
But Trump won't talk about that.
Trump is afraid to talk about that.
He's not gonna undo the system that rewards him.
Just like all the other lifers in Congress on the take.
They know the score.
And so does he.

Hopefully it will mean millions of low IQ leftist losers self deporting to Marxist Utopias in South America or the Caribbean after Trump is re-elected.
Immigration is the second most important issues Americans face. Become informed:

Lobbyists literally write the laws they want and present them to the chosen legislator. He then sticks it at the end of a huge bill that often has nothing to do with it at all. But Congress has been beating on the bill for a long time in committee and want to end it. The bills end up huge, like defense bill, and nobody has the time to read it. So break after break gets slipped in and become law. Money doesn't talk it swears. Dylan.

Hello and thanks, Gonzomin,
You totally nailed it. This has been called by other names in the past. "Pork."
To the average citizen, and it doesn't matter their political persuasion, this makes no sense. So, you have a bill to address a need. It could be anything. Say it's an infrastructure bill. Maybe they're finally gonna spend a little to fix our highways and bridges. Whatever. It doesn't matter. It could be anything. They wrangle back and forth, trying to decide how much to spend on it, where the money is going to come from, what it's going to do to the budget. All the usual politics. Finally they reach a tentative agreement. But they still need more votes to get it passed. A legislator has been 'holding out.' (Guess why) Then, at the last minute, the legislator says: "OK, I'll vote for it if we add this measure."
And it turns out he wants to add a new regulation that has absolutely nothing to do with the original bill. It could be anything else. Say, it forces all US pharmacies to source all their aspirin from his State or pay a huge tax. It's ridiculous, but it happens. And that was just to get one vote. Then you've got all these other legislators holding out for their own little pet project. By the time the original bill gets enough votes, all the rich people have been greased and they all get what they want. Meanwhile, America gets a whole lot of stuff nobody else wanted.
All of that goes on because of this legalized corruption. Most of them never wanted all this pork, but they each have their own little sausage and they vote for everybody else's so they get their own. It's ridiculous. The Constitution never intended for government to work this way.
We gotta get the big money out of politics.
It's up to we, the people, to fix this. THEY the legislators are not going to do it.
We have to pass local laws all over the nation to keep the big money OUT of politics.
When you let the big money in, you get pork.
When we get enough local and State laws preventing the big money, it will become so prominent the federal govt will have to cave and do the same thing. It will make this a major national issue.
No, it won't be easy. But it's the only viable way this can happen.
The super-rich have got us fighting against one another, conservatives against liberals, as they laugh and get richer. They must think it's great. We've got to reach agreement on this one front and take back our government and our country.
