Deep dives
The Polarization of Immigration Discussion
The polarization of the immigration discussion can be attributed to politicians using it as a weapon for their own political agendas. Democrats want to promote a perception of open borders to gain potential future voters, while Republicans want to portray themselves as tough on immigration to appeal to their base. The lack of presidential leadership on this issue has contributed to the polarization. A merit-based immigration system is a logical solution that could be supported by both parties.
