"Full" is way to explain why we're not positioned to take in worthy unskilled walk-ins the way we were in earlier eras-i.e. our economy's changed, unskilled work's been devalued & will be further threatened by robots. Can't accomodate more unskilled without ripping up our society https://t.co/LI0DKOUChf

Crazy, yes. But don't think there's a broad judicial push for open borders. There's a broad judicial push to Block Trump. If President Hillary Clinton had cut the same deal with Mexico I suspect it would be upheld even at District Court level. https://t.co/JWILrlBxsf

If you're looking for a 'defining moment' where Trump blew his last, best shot on immigration, I'd suggest his signing the "omnibus" budget in Mar., 2018 after expressing misgivings that it didn't fund the wall. He had leverage then-lots of funding in that bill Dems & GOPs wanted

This canard refuses to die. The bill in question, the Rounds bill, wrote Obama's immigration priorities into law. In effect told all 11+M illegals in interior (not just 1.8M DREAMers) 'You're home free.' https://t.co/omtZ4I95HV 'Nothing' was preferable. https://t.co/YIiVReoAtT

"That crowd the Chamber of Commerce is no longer interested in Main Street America. They're interested in Main Street Beijing." Hollings was arguably *way* ahead of his time warning about the effects of global free trade on American workers and towns. https://t.co/d1yQiQXca6 https://t.co/IEcvgEE1dG

Part of Hollings' problem, as a national candidate, was his accent. Not a standard Southern accent but a weird South Carolinian niche thing–sounds Scottish. ("White Hoose" for White House.) Still enough for many insular New York Democrats to dismiss him, I discovered. https://t.co/IEcvgEE1dG

The best, as in most perceptive, piece I read on Hollings was a column by Murray Kempton around 1984. Can't find it on Web though. https://t.co/IEcvgEE1dG

Useful intra-Carney fratricide. #TeamJohn. Worries about population decline have become key justification for disastrous loose-border policies. Don't think Trump was saying ZPG or "zero immigration forever."" https://t.co/zOM0Gzg1ix

Running for governor against McAuliffe, Cuccinelli seems to have vaguely embraced some form of "comprehensive" amnesty. https://t.co/N90nUNjkQm https://t.co/43vMl53h3O

Cuccinelli's response does quote somebody saying he "suggested an approach he would support would be to have the state government go first." That's consistent with him opposing mandatory E-Verify for businesses right away. https://t.co/s7LmlGHthh

Seems bizarre that left opponents of Trump re border have suddenly decided to base their case on a falsehood..** Don't they have a lot of other material to work with? Maybe not.
**–Whatever he meant, Trump clearly wasn't referring to *asylum-seekers* when he said "animals." https://t.co/JHcxFb2SYW— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) April 8, 2019

Wait. Are we criticizing Trump for a) telling people in Rust Belt towns "you've got to get out… that greatness is in the past" or b) telling them they shouldn't sell their houses because he'll make America great again? I think it's b)! Can't be both. @peterbuttigieg seems off. https://t.co/UMazLjaV0h

Perry said if you don't support in-state tuition for illegals "I don' think you have a heart." On the other hand, if he's someone who can convince a handful of Dems to back legislation closing the asylum loopholes ….. https://t.co/Bc6aLBiF7a

Huh? If the wall (as Trump critics say) won't solve the current crisis of asylum abuse then it was hardly crazy for Trump to turn down a deal that amnestied DACA in exchange for the wall that won't solve the current crisis of asylum abuse. https://t.co/kYeJ5h8otA

At some point, enough time will have passed since Congress stymied Trump's wall request that Trump can credibly claim a new "emergency" arose *since* then, no? Statements like Romneys might be helpful then. … https://t.co/Xvkzg3UGTL

Pretty clear from the transcript (https://t.co/cDrv7hl7TA) he was talking about criminals he's "taking … out of the country," including MS-13 . A misleading, torqued report from then @NYTimes is why people think he referred to migrants generally. https://t.co/0EX7PmV2oJ

Why doesn't Trump get a bill introduced that does these things, campaign for it and put Senators (including Dems) on the spot to support them? Seems obvous. https://t.co/EYcjMqdQy8
