So he's on to something! Legal process has its own costs–$$, delay. If you give full judicial due process for everything you gum up the works & let people game the system–eg stay in US while legal gears grind on for years. How much process is due?

Note that the @CBS poll sanitizes the requirements for DACA–says "don't have a criminal record." Actually you can have two misdemeanors. 'No criminal record' falsely suggests DACA is cherrypicking the Boy Scout types. https://t.co/tlIU2QxeWg

51% want wall–that's a @CBS poll, not Rasmussen. And that result comes *after* the poll has softened up respondents with a barrage of questions about separating families, etc. https://t.co/tlIU2QxeWg

NOT OVER: Vote in House this week on Ryan Amnesty. Telephone calls have impact. Switchboard: 202 224 3121.

Ryan Amnesty also offers eventual citizenship to parents of the amnestied "DREAMers"–ie the people whose fault it WAS (according to the DREAMer sales pitch). There's an incentive! Bring your kid illegally, and not only do they get in but you get in too https://t.co/7eePZXtfPp

Even if the 2M Ryan Amnesty bill were good (it's not) it will be awful when it leaves the Senate–and who's to say Ryan won't then pass it with Dem votes? Need to stop it now. 202 224-3121 or https://t.co/BR0ia7uu2r or https://t.co/ZBr0p3Jq1S

IT'S NOT OVER! Need to keep calling the House in next few days to beat the Ryan Amnesty. (Ryan already killed off the tougher, better original Goodlatte alternative.) If this passes the House, the Senate will make it much worse-& it could become law. Switchboard is 202 224 3121 https://t.co/PSKC4IlZnb

DON'T EXPECT MUCH from the reworked Ryan Amnesty. I'm told it'll still be a bad deal–a big permanent amnesty NOW for a wall later. Expect some fool-the-Bubbas additions. Most important, it will only get worse in Senate. Need to stop it now. 202 224 3121 https://t.co/f4abERxGjn

She lost me when she said there were "705 miles of fencing" on the border without noting that half of this is "vehicle barriers," not even designed to stop foot traffic–i.e. your grandmother could hop over https://t.co/wKWE4pdbCE https://t.co/BYpHr6fjta

My thinking: Wall is a big deal. But amnesty of 2M (maybe more) is a VERY big deal-incentive for more illegal imm. Unless it's countered by something more than the maybe-under-construction wall, we'll be looking at another amnesty soon. Won't solve problem. E-verify would help. https://t.co/Wf9v4R0sk0

Makes the case that what Trump seemed to be proposing wasn't as outlandish as it might have seemed. (Doesn't mean it's a good idea, but you need to match up due process with practical realities–ie will instituions be overwhelmed). https://t.co/b8h1FONwjV

I wish a bad Ryan Amnesty-for-Wall bill were doomed in Senate. But can't count on that. Why wouldn't Schumer give it the 10 votes it needs? Would deliver huge amnesty & destroy GOP midterm hopes in one swoop. Need to stop it in the House 202 224 3121 https://t.co/BR0ia7uu2r https://t.co/qBWqdcsqCD

“We have to send a clear message: Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay." Democrats clearly need to drive everyone who adopts this pernicious frame from the party. https://t.co/YZ7BCfL0XJ
