Ruben Navarrette : Immigration crisis is not a bug in Donald Trump's plan, it's the plan.

He says Democrats have failed to articulate a coherent immigration strategy that speaks to security and order.

The failure to control migration isn't just a policy lapse; it's a failure of a compelling political vision, he says.

Ruben Navarrette : If Democrats continue to treat this as a Republican -manufactured distraction rather than a substantive issue, they will lose the argument to Republicans .

They must offer a clear alternative - one that reassures Americans that the government is in control of its borders while recognizing that immigration is one of the great engines of this country's strength.

He says the real winners of immigration dysfunction are wealthy corporations.
