Either enforce the laws or eliminate them. The media is fully complicit in fueling narratives with respect to immigration by conflating illegal with legal. Contrary to the spin the permanent resident and naturalization figures being double to quadruple the next country (Germany) shows America welcomes immigrants.

I am not talking about laws but people's behaviour which Trump's rhetoric is allowing. I understand anti immigration sentiment and with the current world economic situation it is being exasperated. But what the government is saying and how it is saying makes a huge difference no matter what they actually do.
