Both sides against the middle

Two years ago, the only thing you heard in the media was illegal immigration. Now, you never hear of it unless some drunk illegal without a drivers license runs a red light and kills a busload of orphans. Next day, the story disappears. Why?
The Democrats say that Republicans are for open borders and work visas because they are in the pocket of big business, and big business wants cheap labor. Okay, I can buy into that.
Republicans say that Democrats want open borders and amnesty so they can boost their Democratic voter base. Yeah, that makes sense to me too.
Who is right and who is wrong? Yes.
My take on this situation, and we're not just talking about illegal immigrants, but most stuff that the DC politicians ram down our throats, is that both sides are in cahoots with each other and use party lines to divide and conquer. Ask any 10 people you know about illegal immigration. Hell, ask 100 or 1000. I am pretty sure you will get an overwhelming majority that will be for closing the borders and exporting our number one product, illegal immigrants. It's one of those "Duh!" topics. Like the answer is so damned obvious that its a wonder why DC never gets anything done about it.
So just why doesn't DC do anything about this subject? I am not a member of the tin foil hat brigade, I feel that the simple answer is usually the best, and conspiracies are pretty much only active in the minds of the paranoid wierdos. But there is more here that meets the eye. The politicians in Washington DC don't so anything about the illegal immigration problem because they don't want to do anything about it.
Why? For whatever reasons, they feel it is in their best interests to let this problem happen. And I mean "their best interests", not the country's interests. Politicians are worried about one thing: their next election. That's it. Once elected, they shuck and jive, use smoke and mirrors, and fuck the country. It's kind of like pro-wrestling. All work, never a shoot, and they "raise heat" to build the next payday/main event/election.
America needs to wake up and impose some term limits on these worthless bastards. The politicians will never vote for term limits, so we the people need to make this happen by never voting for the same candidate twice. After one or two election cycles, maybe the politicians will start paying closer attention to the people who hired them.
