people in general are kind hearted and if you offer them 2 options, one seems nice and the other seems mean, most people will choose the nice option.
you could take advantage of this if you wanted to destabilize a society, by making the nice option the one that also introduces unfavorable elements to that society.
most immigrants don't want anything other then a reliable means to put food on their table, and it shouldn't take 6 years for that to happen.
but it doesn't require millions of cold hearted criminals to screw everything up for everyone else, just a few thousand in the right places.
in refusing to pass any sort of meaningful immigration reform or border security, they created a space for no immigration to become popular. in making going green the answer to everything, they sold something they couldn't hope to deliver.
they still don't understand why, "We don't want it only because that guy does" is a losing campaign platform, but in a world where you have to convince hearts and minds in less than 30 seconds as the voter doomscrolls through their life, it's the only option they had
now they are trying to figure out why people all of a sudden are happy to sit through 3 hour conversations from educated people
