Work to address the issues in the countries people are migrating from, which will eventually reduce the number of people wanting to leave those countries.
It's not an easy quick fix, so the people who care about the issue won't care that it's probably the best way to stop illegal immigration.
We've had weeks of 33°C (90's for us Yanks)
It's been brutal.

"Late blight" possibly.
This is not a criticism , but they seem crowded, we all work with the space we have. Also, have you planted tomatoes in that spot before? That can cause issues too.
Don't over water, let them dry out a bit, remove the dying plants asap, use a copper fungicide, and next year replace a lot of the soil if you have to plant in the same spot. If you can, rotate your crops every year.
Yes, it's a picture of the patch of milkweed that we grow for the monarch butterflies.
Shop vacuum
My internet where I live is through cable and it's terrible. Bad. Outtages all of the time. Down for days at times. So I switched to starlink. It's fine. Works great EXCEPT WHEN IT RAINS HEAVILY.
Heavy rain blocks the signal. Elon Musk owns it.
Now, I have a t-mobile hotspot. It's only $50 per month as opposed to the $110 for Starlink.
If you have no other decent option, Starlink is amazing. If you have other options, don't give Musk your money.
Curious what quality issues you mean?
Here in New England, $21 gets you a Big Mac meal and a 20 piece Chicken Nuggets - before tax.
The lifetime add free version of Sync is a one-time payment of $20.
Personally, I am fine with it.
I wonder if the diet soda studies are related to this?
For instance, diet Coke intake is supposed to correlate with very bad health outcomes.
Edit: downvoted for a question in a Science community? Do better, people.

Rash Treatment and prevention
If you have been (or, think you may have been) exposed to poison oak or poison ivy plants, washing with a cleanser designed to remove urushiol (rash-causing oil from the plants) within 8 hours after exposure will help remove the resin before a rash begins.
There are two brands I swear by. Zanfel and Tecnu. Zanfel is expensive. At $50 for a small tube, I only use it after I get a rash. It has a gritty texture and really helps relieve the itch. After I've been in the yard doing things that may have exposed me, I always use the cheaper Tecnu. It's about $15 a tube and you get more of it. I wash everywhere with it. I mean, everywhere I may have touched.

Eradication
Poison ivy is a perennial. You have to kill it down to the roots.
Poison Ivy still has the urushiol oil on dry leaves. Urushiol WILL be carried in the smoke when it's burned. Urushiol is on the stems and roots, not just the leaves. It's less, but it's there. Don't burn poison ivy, you can wind up in the hospital. Don't pull it out, you will get it on you somehow.
To eradicate poison oak and poison ivy chemically, use an herbicide that contains glyphosate, triclopyr, or a 3-way herbicide that contains 2,4-D amine, dicamba, and mecoprop. Ortho GroundClear Poison Ivy & Tough Brush Killer works great. I hate poison sprays, since I'm a beekeeper, but I make an exception for poison ivy because it kills the plant down to the roots and it doesn't come back.
You can kill poison ivy without harsher chemicals by dissolving one cup of salt, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and one tablespoon of dish soap in a gallon of water. Spray it with a spray bottle. It may come back the next year with this method. Remember where it was so you can do it again.
I also like to use old rugs, tarps and cardboard to smother the plants. Leave them in place until there is nothing but bare dirt left. It may still come back.
You can also rent goats. Yes, goats. They love it. It may still grow back.
Give it another shot. Our military will follow the Constitution.
