Agree. Hate it when people see politics almost entirely as the promotion or frustration of two competing, mutually exclusive coalitions. https://t.co/1flIhZNuOz

Globalist position on mass immigration ("welcoming hundreds of thousands of migrants into Germany") seems to be somewhat in retreat … https://t.co/C2eVDkpCq2

For example, will the SCOTUS nominee back the ACLU drive to catch & release every asylum claimant they can find? Surely there is a way to smoke this out …. https://t.co/FTi7cM5wf9

Sure, the Federalist Society vets for Roe. But do they vet for Flores? Making sure Trump doesn't pick a Bushesque act-of-love justice seems like Job #1 for border controllers right now. https://t.co/aRLoIP3WOn

Non-trivial risk that @RealDonaldTrump looks at the new border stats — suggesting that crossings have indeed been deterred — and reinstates his separation policy … https://t.co/vUNfVSvBie

Useful thread on AMLO effect. Is the "there's no crisis" party line just a pre-AMLO thing? Also see @BrandonDarby here https://t.co/5nsRVaMzGt https://t.co/wQdcLMBq9s

Weird since Euro pedestrian safety regs have seemingly produced cars (and SUVS) with a higher front profile. [This just from driving around looking at them.] https://t.co/r3zlM8W2no

Right. We should not rely on the cruel, dangerous desert to "do the dirty work of deterring crossers." We should build the wall.

Favorite scare sentence: "This logjam will be especially perilous, economists say, if competition for truckers pushes up prices so quickly that the country faces uncontrolled inflation, which can easily lead to a recession." UNCONTROLLED INFLATION, people! Because truckers https://t.co/3A6LtGz6tG

Big area of Left-Trumpist overlap here. Not just NAFTA and TPP, but also the idea that needless foreign interventions create refugees. "Invade the World/Invite the World" they call it. https://t.co/hvJuL2DAeR

No. The numbers are average (back up after a 'Trump dip'). But there's a big legal loophole in the asylum laws-which will grow as more people learn how to game it. (Once it was thought PACs were not a problem because hey, not many businesses had PACs.) Trump seems right to worry https://t.co/WgOTb8y3iJ

"The arguments come as lower courts are increasingly asserting control of the immigration system" https://t.co/m6dXrVXC6Q Isn't THAT one of the first big issues Justice TK will cast the deciding vote on? Maybe some subtle questioning is in order?

High percentage favor "stricter" enforcement of immig laws (70%–ncluding 51% of Dems) and think border security is inadequate (61%). 55% support tightening asylum criteria-lower than I'd expect. Opposition to 'sanctuary' policies through the roof (84%) https://t.co/0NNGKLouBF

OTOH, without the 60 vote threshold, a DREAM amnesty would have passed in 2010. Amnesties are irreversible–unlike, say, tax cuts. It's asymmetric warfare: The amnestiers only have to win once. If you're a restrictionist seems crazy to ditch the filibuster on immigration votes.

What Trump's right about: By the time the Senate got through with it it would be awful (if it passed). Sending the Senate *anything* was risky, especially if Ryan was going to be in charge of any conference committee. https://t.co/TjkVyJERZk
