WE DON'T EVEN WANT TO SELL YOU SNEAKERS! What happens when our biggest brands tell a large swath of society–the un-woke, Trump supporters etc.–that there's no place in American capitalism for them? An ugly new social inequality https://t.co/OiaauOKj0C

Waldman seems to think if we expand the # of legal guestworkers by say another million a year, and there are 20 million people who'd like to come, the 19M who don't make the cut will be happy to stay at home. No. They'll come too, unless we protect border (and stop overstays) https://t.co/UJp8Wx2Ex2

But if we don't have control of who gets in–if anyone who tries can sneak across border or overstay visa–it doesn't matter what system we decide on. We'll be flooded with illegal immigration in any case. https://t.co/UJp8Wx2Ex2

Do NOT retweet this. Trump is playing 5D chess and he has everything under control. Attempts to influence his White House so that it actually fulfills his campaign promises are simply disloyal. Everyone loves Jared! https://t.co/IoxrADbkt4

Saw the new Rolls Royce SUV on the street in Bev. Hills. It's tiny! Could fit in the palm of a Chevy Suburban's hand. And pretty. Everybody should have one. https://t.co/CgVbTwHbkc

Trump ceded it in 2016: "[W]e really need 1,000 miles, because you have a lot of natural barriers — lot of natural barriers [e.g. mountains]" Maybe he ceded too much but that's what we're debating. PS Israeli anti-migrant fence seems formidable, and works apparently https://t.co/jZnYBgOCui

Saw that. Jaw dropped. Kind of shocking that a Dem Rep *goes on TV* to discuss the wall & doesn't know Trump has repeatedly said he's not proposing 2000 miles–most recently last Friday. ("We do not need 2000 miles …") https://t.co/RO6pRTTQqs https://t.co/7ULLpu8V84

By playing hard to get, Dems have Kushner, Trump, biz-oriented GOPs falling over themselves to offer bigger/better amnesties for a few $B of wall. Seems a terrible dynamic for border controllers. PULL THE PLUG NOW https://t.co/ZDq7iYqh7p

If Schultz's big reason for not replacing private insurance, as Medicare for All (and Medicare) do, is that private insurers employ people–not that they provide better/cheaper coverage… doesn't Kamala win that argument? https://t.co/0kr0NYixn8

DEAD? DON'T BELIEVE IT V-skeptical of this story. Dems say amnesty deal's dead because they don't think "Trump would actually provide a permanent fix." But that's what you'd say if you were holding out for a permanent fix–with as much amnesty as possible https://t.co/krAKkrgz2T

This is @seanhannity so no point in giving it a legalistic reading. I interpret this as "I'm ready to sell any amnesty deal for 'DACA Dreamers'–by saying it's not amnesty–as long as it doesn't involve citizenship.' PS Hannity doesn't just come up with these ideas on his own… https://t.co/AFiCnF2TiB
