Zakaria: "National Service Can Bring Us Together." https://t.co/yOvdTr5Nni Does seem to be needed now even more than before–with, Zakaria notes, righteous the-hell-with-you politics added on top of class separation.

Isn't that like saying the costs of D-Day are falling on US soldiers, so call it off? It's a sacrifice in pursuit of a bigger goal. https://t.co/2Kp89jaCrn

Everyone (including Trump here) seems to think Presidents are more powerful after they've been reelected. When has that actually been the case recently? LBJ? Nixon? GW Bush? Clinton? Obama? OK, Reagan got a few things done. Most are lame ducks, no? https://t.co/B5Iys8ljfh

Trump admin considers deporting families with removal orders in order to deter migrants https://t.co/WBheeYX7jk Bizarre that it's wildly controversial to actually remove people the courts have (after due process) ordered removed.

"Migration Lobby Worried 2020 Dems Are Not Pro-Open Borders Enough" https://t.co/AvIaiD55Tr Does it matter? If they support "comprehensive immigration reform,"–let alone mass asylum and ending deportation–it would set us on course for amnesty after amnesty. That' enough.

What if Dems defend chain (your-brother-gets-in) migration, and GOPs want a "merit" points system–so Congress compromises by giving 50 points if your brother's already in US, and 50 points if you have a college degree–and you need 80 points? Might be same bad result.

Correction: I misread a sentence in Munro's article–the Kushner bill doesn't say chain migrants can still come in if they have college degrees. It's a bad idea I hope doesn't occur to them. https://t.co/FDcXyMfFIQ

Also, your "college degree" brother's not being chosen by merit over other college graduates who don't happen to have family connections, right? Will any old college degree do? Predict growth of institutions that grant junky degrees to chain migrants.

So the Kushner immigration bill would NOT end chain migration for family migrants *who hold college degrees*? That leaves a bad taste, no? (You should be able to bring in your educated brother but not your uneducated brother?) https://t.co/xSOI4tFOfv
