“They have slow-walked pro-Trump people to the point that they drop out or lose interest …They don’t like the pro-Trump crowd." OK, blind quote. But I know 3 highly qualified applicants, pro-Trump and his agenda, who got short shrift from WH. And I don't know many people. https://t.co/JVMzunTPhL

Buttigieg: Your sense of belonging & identity used to be "supplied by the workplace." No more. He focuses on "enlisting people in the project of the city." OK! Anomie's a huge problem. But by giving up on jobs this also sounds like stage-setter for a UBI/"Player Piano" dystopia. https://t.co/vAzR0Jh1Qa

Don't understand how this isn't the starting gun for an even bigger migration. Door is open–'Here's a slip of paper. You're free to go.' If you're in Central America in a sub-optimal situation you'd be almost crazy *not* to come (and come soon, before this offer ends). https://t.co/qti69HJ2xi

Maybe the are intentionally provoking a crisis to force Congress to act? (If so, seems very risky–Dems and pro-business GOPS will demand all sorts of things in exchange, like amnesties and guest-worker programs. Not what you want to negotiate under a gun.) https://t.co/iOemxq1Ko2

HUH? Why don't they print this up on flyers and distribute in Central America, to save the coyotes the trouble. This seems a sure-fire way to turbocharge the mass migration, no? https://t.co/qti69HJ2xi

And tighter immigration control is clearly the driving factor in raising wages at bottom in this industry–not the "capital spending boom" that Trump's CEA chair, economist Kevin Hassett, credits. https://t.co/hqJnzYEiOH

Depends on how media covers it, no? So it will be subsumed under the general 2020 principle that whatever Trump does will be terrible and whatever his opponent does will be great. https://t.co/EuWe3JCJO4
