There is nothing remotely "unfair" about legalizing longtime American residents who have done everything right, and could never come via family visa anyways. There was bipartisan support for the Dreamers until the Trump nightmare.

And the ridiculousness and trolling delays and 10x increase in cost for legal immigrants came in recent years, long after the Dreamers. It used to cost almost nothing in time and money to bring someone over; now it's very hard to do for less than 10k-15k and maybe five years, and very high odds of neverending limbo. Basically the U.S. wants everyone else to go the hell away, thanks to a proto-fascist Stephen Miller controlling immigration policy.
