Niskanen *already* pushing to make the not-yet-enacted one year of child dole benefits permanent, or semi-permanent. Is that because they're a) overconfident or b) worried about a voter backlash that will prevent renewal in a year? https://t.co/HfzU5NIiOi

You could even see a situation, down the road, where Mayorkas becomes the public face of an unpopular policy, and — facing midterms or a legislative showdown — Biden decides to remove him as a way to emphasize a change in policy. But I'm getting ahead of things https://t.co/OgJcYPXNVe

This is enough to be a clear invitation for more to come. Apparently that's what @AliMayorkas wants.. Seems bad PR. At some point will Dem amnesty advocates (in Congress & elsewhere) press Biden to rein Mayorkas in because he's killing their cause with voters? https://t.co/5LKghYcQxF

COME ON IN! THE CRISIS IS THE PLAN More evidence for the @NeilMunroDC theory that the Biden administration sees no crisis because its *goal* is to sluice as many migrants into US as it can. Then more will come? They'll get in too. No crisis! https://t.co/rBBtQEvmSm
