It is having no bigger or smaller impact on your life now than anytime before... not in any noticeable regard. And are you under the impression the right has done or would do anything about it?

To your point, I wouldn't say I'm very very familiar with immigration, but I do live in Arizona so I'm on the front lines of its impact. Your argument about impacting day to day lives is an example of boiling a frog. You probably know the concept, but if not: any one degree rise in the water is imperceptible, as is any one illegal immigrant crossing. Until one day the frog is boiled. That being said there has always been a good equilibrium of illegal aliens here, if market forces are allowed to work. My concern is when unnatural things occur like pandemics combined with an administration which is practically asking people to cross over. It's fine so far; the frog is still alive.
