BFD if true. They're not even claiming asylum anymore. They're just overwhelming the system. https://t.co/Z4t0QvWeq8

Will Jared Kushner's immigration plan still be "neutral" on total numbers if you count all his new guestworkers? https://t.co/o2jz3WBUdk

TIGHT LABOR MKT (cont.): Bosses no longer in the saddle. “A strike at single-unit Tinker Street restaurant…forced out one of its owners after workers alleged that a waitress was wrongly fired.” More equal social relations at granular level.

TIGHT LABOR MARKET DOING ITS JOB: "The going rate for dishwashers is $13 an hour in Indianapolis, [Patrick] Tamm said. That’s above the national $11-per-hour average" https://t.co/Kb2pQvYlel Will Jared's guestworkers screw it all up?

On the other hand, Friedman endorses the wall, and asylum reform. He doesn't call for amnesty. And he implies "ability to assimilate" sets a limit on immigration numbers. Shouldn't quibble. https://t.co/V7Ve5XQuzv

Shorter Friedman: We need the wall. Just to calm the yahoos. ("Without a high wall, too many Americans will lack confidence that we can control our borders, and they therefore will oppose the steady immigration we need.") https://t.co/IJARkZusek

.@TomFriedman suggests that a) the crush of asylum seekers allows b) more old-style non-asylum illegal immigrants to sneak in while agents are occupied. If so, b) wouldn't be counted in the stats (which count only those caught). https://t.co/HL4im2egnN

Jared on criminal justice reform: "This was not a D’s versus R’s, this was really us versus them.” Who's the them?
(Crime victims? Sheriffs? Senators Cotton Enzi, Kennedy, Murkowski, Risch, Rounds, Rubio, Sullivan, Barrasso?)

Miller approach seems better than issuing orders from the top and assuming the chain of command in the bureaucracy will carry them out (or that discordant info will flow up to the WH). https://t.co/kwq19l36iU

CASUAL EMPRICISM: I'd estimate that the percent of my Dem. friends who've been chastened by the Mueller report and are less determined to formally punish Trump by impeachment or investigation (not just 2020 defeat) is approximately zero. They've doubled down. At least for now.

Always risky for a politician to actually solve the problem he or she was elected to solve. Trump is just being extra careful to avoid falling into that trap on immigration. https://t.co/cuVXNM5M0Q
