Backlash seems to work with the Trump administration. Good to know. (Also evidence, if you needed it, that Drudge gets results.) https://t.co/bEadMeY8cf

Binder reports there ARE actual policies behind the curtain of platitudes–at least in the case of E-verify https://t.co/Uk9CJCV7sh I agree the squishiness in unTrumpian, which seems unlikely to help him 2020-wise. https://t.co/mOncPKvyBt

Contrast what's been released about Jared's plan (e.g."restore integrity to our broken asylum system") with Gingrich's 1994 Contract With America–which tacked the text of actual legislation (eg on welfare reform) to its 10 clear, specific pledges. https://t.co/z9TSIsYH4c

It's the legislative equivalent of a women's mag puffer on Ivanka's global initiatives. An answer would seem to be a) introduce an actual bill b) get the President to-eg-hammer Dems on their irresponsibility in the face of the Million Migrant Surge thru the "asylum" loophole

That said, I think the shift toward "merit" is WAY less appealing to voters than Trump and Kushner seem to think it is. And I don't get the keep-it-vague, all-platitude strategy. They asylum reform section is especially BS-y. Can't be Luntz's doing-he's usually smarter than that.

I don't think Jared has sold us out yet! The plan is weak on the wall (or on turning what's now called a wall into a real wall). But there's no amnesty, and if you fill in all the vague platitudes with the best policies they might allude to, it would be a v-positive step. 1/ https://t.co/0Y1Sffu4xk

So @JohnBinder, and FAIR, say the White House's vague language actually does mean mandatory E-verify. OK! Why not just say that? https://t.co/7sPtaj8Pwv

And Karni's story never clears the matter up–so @NYTimes readers aren't told the basics of what the plan does. (Editors are supposed to catch things like that. Why do I think that at the NYT they introduce them?) https://t.co/h60RoLiNhd

4th graf in NYT piece highly misleading, no? Trump isn't trying to change law that "allows immigrants to bring their spouses and children to live with them" (at least minor children). He wants to change law to cut off only ADULT SIBLINGS & ADULT CHILDREN https://t.co/p5q25Uusqx

Polls consistently show E-Verify to be very popular– in the 65% to 82% range. How tough a sell could it be?https://t.co/rJts01eSr9 https://t.co/wlcPZiHHhI

Right. But if White House has to sell out to *someone* to get a border fix through Congress (and they shouldn't have to) isn't it better to sell out to biz a bit on legal numbers than sell out to Dems on amnesty? Legal #s can be lowered. Amnesty precedent can't be erased. https://t.co/iUYWoHUp4L

Good to see this document. Unfortunately key provisions are expressed at a PR level of generality–eg "strengthen our asylum system … change the law to stop the flood of child smuggling." Can read a lot of good changes into that language … or not. https://t.co/CObJ94nILT

My priority is getting control of the border-then we can argue about how many we should let in. That's why Trump's failure to even mention E-Verify, after it was teased (& not just by Girdusky), is more disappointing than the Jared plan's failure to lower legal immigration levels

The epistemological status of this E-verify proposal is highly suspect. It's like something out of quantum physics–it's there but it can't be observed or discussed. How does that move the consensus GOP position (which is what the Jared initiative was supposed to do). https://t.co/ZjaNm0EZDD
