We are being overrun by the unintended consequences of a treaty signed 70 years ago. And we live with these consequences without question, because what other choice do we have?

We can change the law properly. Not with EOs that will be overruled (as has happened several times over the past decade). Some people think we can just "do it", ignoring the law because they don't happen to like that law. Well, we can't.

The senate border bill that was shot down would have been an example of the USA applying this principle.

I agree. That's exactly what it would have done. But whether cynicism (e.g. "I need a campaign issue to enrage people"), or simple ignorance (e.g. "the POTUS can fix this with the stroke of a pen"), that opportunity is now gone.

I almost look forward to the day when a Rep is in the White House (NOT TRUMP! Someone competent and not insane), and watching all the immigration hawks' disappointment when their POTUS can do nothing, and has to go ask Congress to change the law.

I seriously doubt the law will get changed in the 20 or so years I have left.
