Note: Dems couldn’t get the “fix” through Congress even when they had the “trifecta”–control of both House, Senate, and WH–in the first half of the Biden administration.

“The Biden administration knew that it couldn’t “Fix 96” — the 1996 reforms that Congress placed on the legal immigration system to deter fraud, abuse, and illegal entries — through the legislative process, so it’s assuming questionable administrative powers to do so.” https://t.co/JSf3CzQdKF

Is it really 12 years since Obama declared executive amnesty for the DACA “Dreamers”–and we still don’t have a decision on whether the program was legal or not?

Kristof: “[I]mmigration should be seen as a dial we adjust.” OK, but to be able to set levels you have to have control. If you don’t have control (as we don’t now) you’re just fooling yourself.

My insta-guess is the amnesty hurts Biden overall. The [accurate] rap on him is he’s weak on defending the US against excessive immigration. This tends to reinforce that, no? What am I missing? https://t.co/UmW4wN9dT0

Some kind of overly subtle messaging going on here–Biden *seems* to get tough on the mostly-bogus asylum surge (jury still out) but then he sends a countervailing message with a very real executive amnesty. Why won’t this negate whatever good the border “closing” did him? https://t.co/SBz8rnZ3ax
