Does Congress really do anything about the serious issues? They just punted on the AMT tax, which unless it gets patched later on during the year, will mean that more middle income Americans, including yours truly, will be paying a good amount more in taxes. The AMT was put in place 40 years ago to prevent the rich from getting around paying taxes, and it hasn't been indexed for inflation since. $100K was worth a lot more 40 years ago than it is today.
The illegal problem won't be solved until it is a huge problem. Personally, I think we should just take over central america up to the Panama Canal, and use the Panama canal as our border fence. With all the Mexicans and other nationalities that we acquire from the takeover, we would have plenty of people willing to relocate and work.
