“But few things would harm the populist cause more than having to manage immigration….” Really? Why? “Even if voters don’t balk at higher social care or retail costs, the trade-off would become apparent…” Well, yes, but that’s a very different claim. https://t.co/BXvDzurRF1

As with welfare: Once voters were convinced government wasn’t going to waste their dollars on disastrous no-work AFDC-style programs, they were more likely to support aid to workers (e.g. Earned Income Tax Credit).

On immigration, once you show voters you can control the borders and set limits, voters will be more open to raising the limits and maybe amnesties. Start with HR2, especially remain in Mexico. Wait a few years for all the court challenges to be resolved. ….
