Like Loury himself, I doubt that Manhattan Institute president @reihan was behind this. Seems more like a donor thing. And a mistake. You have a hundred issues–do eminent MI intellectuals have to toe the line on all 100 of them? [Or just this one?] Kind of shocking. https://t.co/mhvYk1My2M

PS: The apparently established idea that the due process rights of aliens expand as they develop “ties” and “connections” with America seems misguided: a) imprecise b) it’s legislation on part of courts. Why give illegals who’ve been here, say, 5 or 10 years extra due process?

Here’s the primer we needed on immigration “due process.” Raises questions! a) The full d.p. for those who don’t qualify for “expedited removal” does seem too cumbersome to allow for deportation of, say, 5M Biden-era illegals in our lifetimes. Could Congress modify or expand

One of least convincing op-eds I’ve read in a while. Summary: The “big beautiful bill” is a nothingburger voters will barely notice. But GOPs could hold this nothingburger hostage to gain leverage to block Trump’s tariffs! If you hate the tariffs above all else, this might make https://t.co/k4Sw9yNbUx
