The other factor, I think, is that the restrictionist GOP is no longer that unhappy with the way things are. Last times amnesty was considered, the border seemed way too porous. A “comprehensive” bill offered a (false) hope of closing it. But Trump’s taken care of that problem https://t.co/VKz7IufwRT

It turns out wages DID rise–in 16 of 23 illegal-alien-heavy job categories–during Trump’s first year, amid all the deportations. @AlanTonelson takes a closer look at the recent data. https://t.co/nMNQgNL7QZ

An amnesty deal now seems further away than ever because it’s now 100% clear Dems will never keep their half of the bargain if it involves any significant restrictions on future migration. They’ll pocket the amnesty & reopen the border Biden-style as soon as they get the chance. https://t.co/OugFBIJ1S2

Do you think Biden White House officials who supervised the massive breach of our border (as, in Tanden’s case, Domestic Policy chief)–costing the Dems the 2024 election–should head major Democratic think tanks and decree who should or shouldn’t be banished from the party? https://t.co/JlumDPNNl6

The current accepted official PC techniques for dealing with coyotes–“Yell loudly … Wave your arms to look bigger”–are a joke. They’ve obviously not worked. But I don’t think the coyotes will like being discombobulated.
