Remember that under the DREAM Act, which seeks to protect those ‘brought here as children,’ you can have been as old as 17 when you crossed the border illegally. Kind of strains the argument that you’ve ‘known no country except the U.S.’

Man embezzles $500K from a bank, gives it to his teen children. They don’t know where it comes from, though they enjoy spending it. But the bank wants it’s money back. The children righteously claim they shouldn’t be punished for the actions of their parents.
The fact is we punish children for the actions of their parents all the time.

Don’t understand this sentence: “As one senior Vance World figure told me in the early days of the war, the second Trump administration had so thoroughly rewarded the Middle East hawks — at the expense of every other faction in the Right’s coalition — that Vance’s path to the presidency in 2028 appeared closed.” Huh?
In general I don’t understand why being right on the War is such an unenviable position for Vance to be in. https://t.co/VeOm3fdFzV— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

“If you come here illegally with your children, they will get to be Americans!” That’s a huge incentive to come here illegally. Legalizing “Dreamers” brought here as children is not as simple an issue as their advocates’ PR push makes it out to be–or as many voters think it is. https://t.co/N1ROEbvXMW

Praising Obama at the end lost me. There’s lots to praise Obama about, but his interior enforcement of immigration laws was weak. (Claude, citing CIS, says: “interior deportations fell every year of the Obama administration, from roughly 235,000 in 2009 to 70,000 in 2015.” Who needs Palantir for that?)

If Trump wants to Go to China, why not do it on health care (which directly affects affordability) instead of amnesty (something only business lobbies, activists, and the media are really demanding). Cohn mentions at least 3 possible Go-to-China compromises short of Sanders’ “Medicare for All:” 1) Voluntary buy-in to existing Medicare; 2) Lower Medicare age to 55; 3) Extend Medicare to kids (who are cheap to insure). Any one of these would be progress, and also educational, in terms of what will work and what will break the bank.
But, Good Lord, don’t ask taxpayers to fund any of these before you stop wasting billions on scams like hospice fraud, which are ongoing https://t.co/IFx7UV04qj
