That's the debate isn't it? My view: we elect Presidents in part to persuade Congress to pass laws. GOP had both houses. There were many things GOP & Dems wanted. A pol's job is to make it happen. The wall wasn't even a heavy lift for a skilled pol. Asylum tightening also doable. https://t.co/1szvF6cVt6

So there's ZER0 miles of "new" wall or fence. But how many miles of hop-over "vehicle barrier" have been replaced by tall wall/fence–a huge improvement? The answer seems to be about 20 miles. Not impressive. There are 280 miles of "vehicle" fence. https://t.co/xSrlRDIRpB

"[Toomey, Lee, and Rubio] all voted against Trump despite their collective desire for more barriers on the border." If all these Senate Republicans support more wall, why didn't they do something about it in the budget? https://t.co/opOMR9648b

We tried the fancy new technology–"virtual wall"– and it failed. https://t.co/PvjLyUEwC8 Maybe one day a "virtual wall" will work, like in "The Prisoner." Until then, Trump seems right. https://t.co/SMqhQYuI90

Trump *is* delivering on his essential promise–tight labor market producing wage gains for the bottom half. The problem is he now seems to be conspiring with Chamber of Commerce & Kochs to import workers and *un*deliver the promise. https://t.co/A3LE5kzXy8

This seems clearly replacing existing hop-over "vehicle barrier" with bollard wall, as Army Corps admitted https://t.co/l1cQpIyt0k It's a big upgrade–Trump should get points for it–but it's not "new" barrier. https://t.co/d7h7gKzrjH

Alternative theory (if you are immigration-centric): Pelosi dropping impeachment makes amnesty much more likely, because Trump no longer has to please the base so they will defend him against impeachment. (Still needs them for reelection, of course.) https://t.co/DfgLIjeIiS

Exciting campaign Mick Mulvaney has planned! Task forces, exec. orders on a bunch of 70% issues. Clinton in '96 had his "school uniform" issues, but he also had a big accomplishment (welfare reform) https://t.co/EtkYMQu9IR

I deleted erroneous tweet suggesting they hadn't discussed immigration. It's covered in a separate Breitbart story here: https://t.co/3qfAlz0x9Z President spouting employer line ('need workers!'). Why not raise wages, train Americans? https://t.co/cujodGaYoQ

Seems like the key debate. @FrescoLeon seems to be saying you can't be a "success" unless you're "elite" at some skill. a) Is that your vision of America? Alternative: Everyone who works is a success whether they have elite skills or not. Not that easy to work! >>> https://t.co/dLlcdNmmMS
