1182(f)-mentum building! I still don't understand why @RoyBeck_NUSA & the NumbersUSA/CIS people seem leery of it. Maybe they have a good reason! Would it upset coalitions? Would its use be overridden by a veto-proof majority (seems unlikely)? Interested in what the problem is. https://t.co/TuQKj07N7X

#1 issue among ALL REGISTERED VOTERS. Are Dems on the winning side of it? I don't think so. (It's only a 7% issue among Dems, suggesting that the high score — 20% among independents — does not reflect anti-ICE, loose-border fervor.) https://t.co/okw1lP9rG9

PS Goldberg's implicit argument — that 10,000 word cover stories are the pinnacle of magazine journalism & the system should be geared to training people to produce them — seems completely wrongheaded. The soul of a magazine is in the short bits. https://t.co/Uk5P8Eqoff

What about those of us who have to *read* 10,000 word cover stories? That's not so damn easy either. https://t.co/02f3UH2P3D

1 FOR 4: What if Trump said he'd seek to reduce legal immigration by 25,000 for every 100,000 putative "asylum" surgers who get in? Some reductions (eg guestworkers) exec. can do by itself. Others can be legis. effort backed by veto. THAT might get Koch/donor/hackGOP attention…

Of the things on your list https://t.co/IsExgefW1t 3 seem big: Flores, Safe 3d Country, Remain in Mexico. Last two now being negotiated-100% implementation seems unlikely. And even ending Flores ineffective if surge swamps detention space. There's a crisis. Why not try 1182(f)? https://t.co/T9Wl51T9FI

I don't understand. 1182(f) is a law. If Trump invoked it, he'd probably be blocked in lower courts by legal challenges, but might win in SCOTUS (same as with challenges to things your list). There's some respectable inhibition about 1182(f)–trying to figure out what it is. https://t.co/ewS2vvW3OR

Skeptical. A large-but-inefffective deployment of Mexican troops seems like the obvious minimum theatrical response. https://t.co/LrKOhjdsCD

If only Trump hadn't stocked his administration with Kochies. If only @mschlapp weren't a Kochie and Koch Industries hadn't been the first client of the lobbying firm he set up with his wife @mercedesschlapp, Trump's strategic communications director https://t.co/FaOPtp9Bwk https://t.co/GLiz4f1fcC

Trump's China trade confrontation is encouraging manufacturers to move to Mexico from China–doing Mexico a huge favor, no? You have to wonder if that's somehow factoring in. Is Mexico net ahead from Trump even if the tariffs kick in? https://t.co/fhrpredgPq

So you disagree with @RMConservative, who argues Trump could simply cut off "any class of aliens" under 8 U.S.C. ยง1182(f)–for example, all those from Central America? https://t.co/kTY3b2ySoJ https://t.co/60vrnMoT77

Hmm. And "gatekeeper" media wouldn't let itself be bullied by SJWs, etc. if disruptive competitors didn't exist? I'm skeptical. https://t.co/3lf6o2cbbF

Song is part of a collection of "criminally ignored" tunes championed by the late Gary Stewart and distributed at his memorial. Ironic because Stewart was a big Social Justice type. But he was a dedicated curator.

I didn't know about this 1966 song. It's the most Thomas Sowellish thing I've heard this side of The Rainmakers' "Government Cheese." Too conservative for me! But it's a good song (& not scared to be nasty) https://t.co/LYVTOzBlVq

Correction: By "protecting existing entitlements" I meant Social Security and Medicare. Trump has not protected Obamacare, also an entitlement. But he didn't promise he would. (Maybe universal health care should be part of Trumpism, but it isn't.) https://t.co/5KGzfwfKRH
