Why are people so worked up over which party did what?

...Because it matters? Context, track records, and historical accuracy are important aspects of functional politics.

Shouldn't legal U.S. citizens be trying to make our country, and community better in every aspect?

Depends on what you consider 'better' and more importantly how you think we should go about achieving that. Bringing up 'legal US citizens' as if seeking asylum isn't a legal, constitutional act or the fact that immigrants commit crime at significantly lower rates than US citizens leads me to think you're not actually looking at immigration through an unbiased lens.

Why can't everyone work together as a team?

Partisanship and tribalism, but one side is objectively WAY more guilty of this than the other. Look at just about any procedure in congress and see who's really interested in working together or not. This latest immigration bill is a fine example but my favorite would have to be the Jan 6th investigation where Democrats offered Republicans a perfect 50/50 split in representation and Republicans still said no specifically so they could then turn around and cry victim when the resulting committee wasn't an even split. For as much as the right claims the left is dividing the country they couldn't be projecting any harder.

Pride (it's on both sides) and the dysfunction of the family unit will lead to the destruction of the United States of America.

Gee I wonder where you got this buzzword and how it affects your opinion of the LGBT community and alternative lifestyles...

That is not a buzzword. That is prophecy.

I am trying to see things in an unbiased sense, which is why I asked those questions.

Criticizing the "dysfunction of the family unit" as others have said often sounds like a bit of a dog whistle, but I would like you to explain what you mean by this before I respond to it or criticize. So, care to explain plainly what "the dysfunction of the family unit" means to you?

I should have used the word disintegration, I hope you can excuse my lack of using the correct term (I was trying to remember the word disintegration but couldn't until now).
The disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations great calamities. Hence why I said the destruction of the United States of America.

I don't care what people are told to do (in a informational setting), I personally like to learn for myself, ponder the studying, and find examples, and understand what will be a consequence (good or bad). No one likes a sheeple.

In order for me to fully explain, I would have to go to topics that aren't political, so I'll just give the basic idea.
I firmly believe that the family is a fundamental unit in society. A common family is one with a man and a woman legally bonded in matrimony, that respect and preserve their marital vows with complete fidelity, with the want to have children (and eventually, hopefully, do), and the parents teach their children. Both parents are to help one another as equal partners as well. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation.

I search for responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere (and hopefuly they are some) that promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.
