The reason that immigration has been broken for forty years is because both sides have big swatches of their base that are convinced that one day, they'll get everything they want on the issue. So any compromise - even if that compromise would alleviate real problems today - is a betrayal.

Exactly. But to me it looks like they can point to the 2d Amendment as a success story for this view. Bruen requiring historical analogs for gun measures seems a totally unworkable standard. And we're stuck with that until some reinterpretation comes along - not in my lifetime. I'm more than willing to compromise on the border as long as we do something - but I hope it will be something workable, practical, and HUMANE.

I noticed Biden just put out proposals for guns safety which I have to look at. I thought maybe approaching the problem from this rout might work as we aren't proposing limitations on guns. I'd like to see a proposal on solving the border problem.
