When was I ever angry about "tactics"? I don't want uncontrolled immigration to further destroy the wages of the unskilled (and the possibility of social equality). Immigration is good, but I think it needs to be regulated democratically with that (and assimilation) in mind. https://t.co/4Z1Tt51R7g

[Fixed from earlier miswritten version.] The only migrants this would seem to exclude are the minority of asylum-seekers who lose their initial "credible fear" determinations. But if they then sneak in they can still become regular "unauthorized" and get to stay too! … https://t.co/KtjCIA3pif

Her proposed new standard: "how likely migrants are to abide by the laws and adopt the values of their host society." OK, but don't see how that solves the wage problem. Still need numerical limit to protect low-end wages + social integration in host country, no? https://t.co/9NXLdIFPpf
