You can’t? Remain in Mexico did, for one. https://t.co/ZH8Ecjyto4

“Claims processed in a non-detained, non-adversarial way in 6 months.” Non-detained = released. So how does this bill end ‘catch & release? First 6 months are free! https://t.co/o4QvLOVYjR

Here I was hoping it would void the Flores settlement, which has been interpreted to mean that minors can’t be detained for more than 20 days, leading to a surge of children at the border. https://t.co/X1IykZ1YzB https://t.co/kCf6pZeIKM

FAKE TOUGH: As suspected, the secret bill doesn’t close off asylum claims (even when th 5,000 target is hit!). It just funnels them through land ports of entry. What’s the difference, if they still get in? https://t.co/RuGX0exQZX

Crazy idea #2: Maybe public pessimism about Biden has more to do with what Springsteen is talking about here, plus some other long-term fears (AI, more pandemics & terrorism) than the (healthy) job numbers? Job #s were healthy in the 1960s when the world exploded with unrest, no? https://t.co/25sNwKqBpT

.@CNN just said the big border deal has “conservative wish list” items in it. Here are the conservative wish list items from the @HR2 bill the GOP House passed. See for yourself if they’re included:
–E-Verify ______
–Remain in Mexico ______
–Limit “parole” to rare emergencies… https://t.co/lgqd8V90qy— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

I haven’t seen a reversal on the border. Biden hasn’t tried to reinstate Remain in Mexico, to pick the most obvious example. Mainly he’s jockeying for a new law that would ratify, not reverse, Mayorkas’ let-them-in policies. https://t.co/Ps0VGNBBNQ
