Buzzfeed said it was "the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings with Russia." Never trust content from @Buzzfeed. https://t.co/j7EHSlyoF0

PRIORITIES: "Mr. McConnell has expedited virtually everything Mr. Trump has asked of him since 2017, rolling back Obama-era regulations, ramming through a giant tax cut…" Did Trump not even ask McConnell for legislation on asylum loopholes ? E-Verify? https://t.co/adL86MBJc0

If higher pay lures successfully more talent into manufacturing, why do we care which firm they end up with? Higher pay is also the "market signal" to young people to acquire STEM skills. Businesses say they like market signals, except when they signal higher wages. https://t.co/EpHwLzNKgr

Why not raise wages? "[O]ffering higher pay helped to attract talent but not retain it. STEM workers were often hired away by rivals." So pay the going wage! Is immigration policy supposed to let employers avoid competing in the labor market? Guess so. Kind of gives the game away https://t.co/t82U6TG94a

12 tweets or retweets in 3 1/2 hours, and @Tweetdeck decides my "rate limit" has been exceeded. Lucky I'm not paranoid.

Thanks. Point 12 is provocative and a huge concession. Admits "a rapid inundation of a local area by immigrants and a replacement of natives" would "upend institutions" and justify limiting immigration. An empirical argument on which voters may have varying opinions… https://t.co/QqRqnVpz5J

Hmm. Hard to believe the vague definition of "credible fear' doesn't allow for some tightening up without new legislation (or rulemaking). "90 percent or more" of those who come in have to pass? Can't be brought 10 or 20 percent lower? https://t.co/iUoObhE7AD
