The massive 1996 welfare reform worked out in part because Republicans had a powerful staffer (Ron Haskins) who could watch any textual changes like a hawk *and* had the power to get them fixed. Not clear there has ever been a staffer like that on immigration–on the GOP side. https://t.co/5oIfpH1uiZ

First Krugman, now EPI–it’s only February, but already it’s all-hands-on-deck for previously nuanced economists to defend Biden’s let-them-in border policy with whatever questionable arguments they’ve got around. Must mean the border issue is killing the Dems in internal polling https://t.co/JFqY5WHsT6

What would be very useful (don’t know for whom) would be graph of what happened to less-skilled native born wages over the course of Trump and Biden administrations. Maybe compare with non-native wages. I assume data’s out there but immigration proponents don’t seem to include it https://t.co/oNovDwKsAA

Looong thread that never even addresses point that high less-skilled immigration lowers WAGES for less-skilled workers already here. Sure, everybody gets a job, but what’s the pay? This was historic tight-labor-market chance for unskilled to improve relative position. https://t.co/zVGpXuO7F7

First Biden “said the immediate jump in illegal immigration was perfectly normal: ‘It happens every single solitary year..'” Then the border was “secure.” Underlying it all was claim that migrants were surging due to root causes, not because they knew Biden was letting them in https://t.co/iogAmWZILW

Skeptical. Way bigger interests at play: Business wants more workers, lots of people want bigger GDP, Biden wanted to cut wage inflation, long term Dem interests in turning US blue (beyond apportionment–new voters). Also pleasing activists who think immigration control is racist https://t.co/h1oLPlg3VX

Alas, the moderates’ border bill is a nothingburger. Chapter & verse here. Sample: “The bill’s [got] tough language on expelling migrants, but ‘it exempts asylum seekers — it’s just ridiculous'” It gets worse. At best it is “symbolic.” https://t.co/hCGIcIwJoj
