Lawfare is a battlefield for all ages. Kids can't afford lawyers so they have to represent themselves in immigration court. It's been a big thing since 2010s.
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) says that unaccompanied children DO NOT have the right to an attorney.

I'm getting suspicion that there will be no more re-elected US president since in this decline nobody can make even half of people satisfy.
At a certain point, it becomes clear that American will/has already completely collapsed. Even assuming American politicians were operating in good faith (and we know they don't), how do you represent a people who are partially illiterate and incapable of long-term rational thought? In same cases, certain parts of electorate are incapable of rational thought at all.
Further, when one portion of the electorate are predicating their well-being not on material factors, but on cultural ones, it becomes incredibly difficult for any government system NOT to descend into third-world dictatorship of the worst kind.
If the US didn't wage all those wars it would have been better off right now for sure. But I don't think that is going solve America's economic problems. The real issue is that the US economy is increasingly becoming dependent on the wealth effect of asset price inflation to fuel consumption of foreign made goods. That comes at the expense of infrastructure and industry. So even if the US didn't have all those wars I don't know how much that would have improved industry and infrastructure but the national debt would have been much lower.
