The issue of border security and immigration is a complex and contentious one that has been debated by policymakers in both political parties for many years. There are a number of reasons why the border has not been “fixed” to the satisfaction of either party.

Firstly, there is a fundamental disagreement between Republicans and Democrats on how to address the issue of undocumented immigrants. Republicans tend to favor stricter border security measures, including building a physical barrier (i.e., a wall) along the southern border, and focusing on enforcing existing immigration laws. Democrats, on the other hand, tend to favor a more comprehensive approach that includes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in the country, along with increased resources for border security and a more humanitarian approach to those seeking asylum.

Secondly, the issue of immigration has become highly politicized in recent years, with both parties using it as a wedge issue to mobilize their base and appeal to voters. This has made it difficult for lawmakers to find common ground and reach a bipartisan consensus on how to address the issue.

Thirdly, the issue of immigration is closely tied to broader economic, social, and geopolitical factors, such as trade policy, labor markets, crime and violence in Central America, and U.S. foreign policy. These factors are complex and multifaceted, and finding a comprehensive solution to the issue of border security and immigration requires addressing these underlying factors.

Finally, the issue of border security and immigration is inherently difficult to “fix” due to the sheer size and complexity of the U.S.-Mexico border. The border spans more than 1,900 miles and crosses a variety of terrains, including deserts, mountains, and rivers, making it difficult to secure. Additionally, the issue of undocumented immigration is not solely a U.S. problem, but also a regional and global one, requiring cooperation and coordination with other countries and international organizations.

In summary, the issue of border security and immigration is complex and multifaceted, and finding a comprehensive solution that satisfies both parties is a difficult and ongoing challenge.
