Good point. Almost as if his people didn’t write the text he was reading from–Rollins’ people did. Remember the infamous tweet where she says to the ignore “the fake news media and the grifters”? That’s what she thinks of her anti-amnesty opponents. https://t.co/lZw5NyX8xO

Since Trump’s now outed Kochie @secbrookrollins as the one behind the sabotage of his immigration policy, it’s appropriate to go after her politically, no? As in ‘BROOKE ROLLINS MUST GO’ https://t.co/mB2AhM0d7O

“They’ll understand, won’t they?” I don’t think so. The farm part is a ridiculous delegation of power to farmers who hired the illegals in the first place. The hotels part is just an indefensible loophole. Plenty of Americans who’ll take hotel jobs. https://t.co/mB2AhM0d7O

“Republicans have a chance to deliver a one-two punch: clean out the waste and fraud, and then raise reimbursement rates enough to attract quality doctors back into the system.” Good idea, but the second part will not cut the deficit. https://t.co/529loyzii8

PS “Foreign born” and “native born” are BLS’ categories, not mine. But they seem like a useful window into what’s going on in the Trump economy.

If I’m reading latest BLS stats right (entirely possible I’m not) June was another month when employment of foreign-born workers declined a bit while employment of native-born increased more than a bit. See Table A-7 here https://t.co/uqiWfm5iXj and here https://t.co/Wysb5wnhut

No point being dogmatic about public v private ownership–Trump & MAGA aren’t free market purists. But as a Marxish ex-college socialist I can say it’s really important that someone has basically made their peace with capitalism.
