Someone make an argument why this 5 point policy shouldn't be bipartisan consensus

I fundamentally am confused why we can't have a consensus on immigration that goes something like this

1) significant crackdown on the illegal flow of immigrants on our southern border. invest in barriers, wall, tracking technology, more patrols, etc to reduce illegal entry. A basic thing a nation does is control who comes in.

2) Immigration should be based on where the skills are needed. If jobless american workers can fill a need, they should get priority. employers need to prove that they need immigrants because of a shortage of workers, not because they can pay them less.

3) In areas of the world where it is difficult to vet immigrants on cultural beliefs and practices, a ban is warranted until the vetting system improves.

4) absolutely zero public assistance allowed unless you have worked and contributed for a decade in america.

5) asylum cannot be granted to people who can find safety in a nation closer to their homeland.


There is no reason the above 5 points shouldn't be a consensus in america. But they aren't. We have a party that is debating what to do with groups of illegals caught crossing the southern border.
