The 3 reasons Lind gives for Dems opposing Trump's offer are awfully watery–symbolism, trust, etc. It's a win for them. https://t.co/MFO1XUZUgj

1) But it codifies Obama's DACA-no longer 'lawless' exec action. Adding verbiage saying otherwise doesn't fix 2) Nothing more permanent than temporary 3 year amnesty 3) Only gets worse from here. Shouldn't have brought DACA into deal at all. Terrible signal to would-be migrants https://t.co/QiIenKzqXE

2) Big difference between "eligible for" DACA (1.2 to 1.7M) and "already have" DACA (only 700K). Think BRIDGE protects the bigger number. Another Dem win. … 2/2 https://t.co/o3VFxqtyDg

1) Once DACA (executive action) is codified for 3 years, protection will never be allowed to lapse. Dems know this. Also gives them permanent issue (including demand for citizenship). Huge Dem win. … 1/2 https://t.co/o12nF1Rz7o

Also the Amnesty part (legalization) would take effect immediately. The Wall will be delayed by lawsuits etc.–maybe until after next election, when all bets are off. Bad deal. https://t.co/QhJLvYSKR0

Lindsey Graham's original Wall-for-Amnesty deal included "Legal changes to do away with some of these magnets to illegal immigration." https://t.co/DdngLJGxhj Has the Jared/Pence combo platter dropped those too?

a) Bill funding Wall would be great. b) Wall + an Amnesty is bad because amnesty is huge magnet for more illegal immigration.
Not like restrictionists wouldn't take a). https://t.co/GpX4PBYDn1

Why do I worry that, under Jared's influence, @realDonaldTrump will cripple his presidency tomorrow with some kind of offer of DREAMer amnesty without nearly enough in return? It only gets worse from there, as Dems demand more, no? Hope I'm just paranoid #ABP https://t.co/QncAAXlN6K

Serious question: Are these just the kids the Flores decision says can't be held more than certain number of days, so they're released to relatives, etc. while a parent stays in detention? https://t.co/iqYlMQk3SX via @voxdotcom

So *that's* a potential event that might produce a shutdown-ending compromise–a quick DACA decision (if it ends DACA). Months away though. https://t.co/BFcBnbeUlP

You do have to worry that it's some dramatic, misguided Jaredistic offer– like the disastrous year-ago decision to expand his proposed amnesty to 1.8M from the 700K DACAns. (Lost anyway, defections on the richt, yet very hard to get the number back down again.) https://t.co/FTIsrjUEMa

"An Associated General Contractors survey last year showed Texas couldn’t find enough construction site laborers partly because of Trump’s immigration crackdown." For those arguing Trump didn't help produce tight labor market-that's not what employers say. https://t.co/XwSOYbOhyJ

Such a much better choice than expected. Great choice regardless of expectations. Doar seems very different from a doctrinaire Ryan type. Distinguished welfare commissioner of NY, aware of cultural dimensions, not just marginal incentives. @WashingtonMonthly alum https://t.co/0WvoTbLSVy

Profit-conscious employers helping marginalized US workers get back in the mainstream. They wouldn't be doing it if Dems & loose-borders GOPs had their way and the labor market was flooded at the low end with migrants. https://t.co/dlzbRR4ez7
