Important that 212(f) border “closing” may be a 4-card flush. But of course even if it is, there’s always a pause of a few months in the migrant surge before the migrants & cartels figure out its a 4-card flush. If Biden times it right this pause might last through the election.… https://t.co/jzZjzAWcRr https://t.co/NjfpArpWGa

Don’t quite understand electoral appeal of upward mobility bios. Lots of people make it in USA-but it often becomes a kind of entitlement, as if that makes them better, more able to pronounce moral judgment. Riches-to-rags-to-riches stories at least have the riches-to-rags part.

Note: Picking “parole abuse” as the issue would not have this problem. For one, Biden & Dems wouldn’t agree to it. Also, parole is how Biden sneaks hundreds of thousands into the country. Because it’s so discreet, ending it wouldn’t have that much media impact before the election

I guess the danger here is that Dems will be smart and pass the provision. Biden will then exercise his authority, dramatically reducing the migrant flow for a few months and increasing Dems’ election chances. Then, after Nov 5, it will be back to Mayorkas’ business as usual. https://t.co/Is3kmDvCo8
