As long as the US provides better economic conditions and a better quality of life, the immigrants are going to keep coming. Trump is doing his best to make sure that isn't happening. With America's aging population and slowed birth rates, giving people paths to citizenship isn't a bad thing. 

Nobody said it was but that doesn't mean you just ignore the rules and let people come across the border illegally and then stay even after being caught and identified as being here illegally.  Maybe Democrats should have actually worked on immigration reform when they had the chance.

They did and had a bipartisan agreement with one of the most conservative senators and Trump told Republicans to kill it.

And this is why he wanted it killed. So uninformed people (ie Fox News watchers) would say the Democrats are weak on immigration and border enforcement.

Im referring to when they controlled everything under Obama and had 60 votes in the Senate as well.

They only had 60 votes for about two months and passed major health care reform.

Is there a rule in Congress that you can only have one ball in the air at a time?  They could have done so much more in that time had they actually wanted to.

Well in 2013 68 senators passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013. John Boehner refused to bring it up for vote. Obama did work on immigration and once again republicans blocked it.

Yes, 60 days is not enough time to pass two pieces of major legislation.

The Nazis had the Madagascar plan where they would exile all the Jews in Europe to Madagascar. 

And then what? Drop a nuke  on it?
