"If it’s good for the country but bad for Donald Trump, what do you choose?" Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy said in urging Republicans to support the legislation.

And it is as we have been saying. The most forceful immigration bill in decades.
Will Republicans sign on to this? They claim they want the border “fixed”. Well here is that fix.
Dwight Eisenhower supported Operation Wetback, a government program aimed at removing undocumented Mexican immigrants from the United States, for a few reasons.
First, the program was a response to public pressure to address illegal immigration, particularly in the agricultural and labor sectors. There was concern that undocumented workers were taking jobs away from American citizens and driving down wages.
Second, there were concerns about national security and the potential for undocumented immigrants to be involved in criminal activities or to be sympathetic to communist ideologies, particularly during the Cold War era.
Finally, there was a desire to demonstrate to Mexico that the United States was taking action to address illegal immigration and to encourage the Mexican government to do more to prevent its citizens from crossing the border without authorization.
These factors likely contributed to Eisenhower's support for Operation Wetback.
Immigration is part of the US foreign policies. Effective and practical foreign policies should focus on promoting peace, stability, and prosperity while also protecting national interests. Some examples of effective and practical foreign policies include:
1. Diplomacy and dialogue: Prioritizing diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts and build constructive relationships with other countries.
2. Economic engagement: Fostering trade and investment opportunities to promote economic growth and cooperation, as well as addressing global economic challenges.
3. Multilateral cooperation: Working with international organizations and alliances to address global issues such as climate change, security threats, and humanitarian crises.
4. Human rights promotion: Advocating for and supporting human rights and democracy around the world, and holding countries accountable for human rights violations.
5. Security cooperation: Collaborating with other countries to combat terrorism, prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and address other security threats.
6. Development assistance: Providing aid and support to countries in need to help alleviate poverty, improve healthcare, and promote sustainable development.
7. Cultural exchange and education: Promoting cultural understanding and education exchange programs to foster goodwill and mutual understanding between countries.
In addition, effective and practical foreign policies should be adaptable to changing global dynamics and should be based on a comprehensive understanding of the historical, cultural, and political contexts of other countries.
They should also be guided by a long-term vision and be implemented with a realistic assessment of national resources and capabilities.
