I don't think it'll ever happen though, for the same reason that we'll never see legalized abortion in this country

We need a party that serves the working class before a lot of these issues are able to gain traction. Unfortunately the vast majority of politicians are captured by corporate interests, and our system is designed to reward such.

There is an argument to be made for immigration disrupting the culture of border cities

I don't think there is a good argument to be made for that honesty, the vast majority of people who think of immigrants as 'disrupting culture' seem to simply dislike diversity when you try to dig down at what exactly is being disrupted. I honestly think that's more of an education issue. Where the expansion of public education, including college, would help the most. Especially with the legalization aspect you mentioned. Legalized immigrants would have their educational opportunities far improved, and it would also improve integration. Ultimately, integration is a generational thing, but public education can definitely improve it for everyone
