Finding Common Ground on Immigration: A Look at the Possibilities

Society's Positive Shifts

In 2025, America witnessed notable improvements:

• Crime rates declined
• Life expectancy increased
• Drug overdoses and suicides decreased
• Young people reduced social media usage

These changes indicate that society can stabilize, even after challenging times.

The Challenge of Politics and Public Institutions

But what about the political landscape and public institutions? Can they achieve balance too?

Key Questions:

• Can universities resist the return of extreme progressive ideas when Republican pressure diminishes?
• Can public health find a middle ground between strict regulations and anti-expert sentiment?

Immigration: A Divided Nation

The recent shooting in Minnesota highlighted deep divisions. Different groups interpret the same events diametrically opposite due to conflicting views on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Perspectives on ICE:

• Some view ICE as conducting normal law enforcement.
• Others believe ICE is overly aggressive.

Potential Solutions for ICE

To bridge the gap, ICE might consider:

• Agents stopping the use of masks in public
• Slowing operations to prioritize professionalism and reduce harassment
• Conducting full investigations into shootings involving ICE agents before the White House issues statements

The Path to Stability

While the question remains tough, society's recent improvements suggest that change is possible. With effort, politics and public institutions may also find stability.
