I think you touched on it. There is no such thing as "solving" anything. Obamacare became fully implemented by 2016, less than a year later the rhetoric went right back to how the poor can't get healthcare, people dieing, unaffordability, etc. Even if an issue seems "solved" (for the moment) politics demands that partisans find some new want, dress it up as a basic need or human right, and scream some more.
Immigration isn't a problem in a sane country, even in some of those those so-called progressive states. For those countries, its largely handled as a pragmatic issue on behalf of the well being of their citizens. Until recently, Australia shipped its refugees and illegals to an island giving them two choices - "agree to deportation or stay in detention till the legal process almost always tosses your ass out." (now they put them in camps on the mainland). In New Zealand its cut and dried, if you are caught you are deported.
And none of this chain migration nonsense. They (and Canada) immigration is merit based on skills, knowledge, age and (to an extent) ability. THAT is what sane countries do.
Then there is the United States - the worlds largest nuthouse.
You hit it on the head. We're just plain crazy.
