Stronger version of an argument I tried to make about Bush 43's budget https://t.co/sdDJZBrd7m (He was failing to spend money, enabling Dems to spend it later on big things; in this case GOPs actually doing revenue-raising dirty work) https://t.co/MxVeeBfXSL

Maybe Dems Don't Have the Jan. DACA Leverage They Thought They Had Part II https://t.co/hf9v8dKdKa "Advocates fear that such an effort could end up laden with measures Democrats & even Dreamers oppose." Dreamers say they "won't accept it." They have a veto?

"Activists worry Democrats are giving up their best chance on DACA" https://t.co/SKJGFoQVpa Maybe Democrats don't have the January leverage they thought they'd have? (PS Hope Trump knows this.)

So the undocumented parents who illegally brought in "Dreamers" get legalized & work permits, just not citizenship, and we call that "'limiting" chain migration'? https://t.co/mKMNplVXc1 That gonna fly? Total fig leaf.

STAY PARANOID: “He wants to fix the entire system"–Lindsey Graham on Trump and immigration. https://t.co/AIDmmxOkkK (NYT seems to be talking about only "Dreamers" at that point in its confusingly edited story. But when Graham says "entire system" he usually means Gangof8-land.)

CONFUSED! David Corn doesn't know Glenn Simpson? Why would Corn need FBI's Baker to learn about dossier? The insinuation in this story's lede doesn't make sense to me. https://t.co/OCzBtVTXNh

I don't like Rubio & I'm not crazy about the child tax credit he's been pushing, but jeez he's got an answer for this. Actually a fast ball down the middle for him. Sometimes seems like everybody has to be 100% evil or 100% good for Hollywood … https://t.co/w8ytJW4sBC

Also, I'm pretty sure "chain migration" ended up being the bargained-over issue because Dreamers & Dems rule out any big new measures to control *illegal* immigration (ie E-Verify, Wall, ICE agents). "Chain" cuts most palatable big concesson for "left". https://t.co/KMZe656ows

Not like NumbersUSA et al pretended they don't want to lower overall immigration levels.* It's certainly not crazy to want to boost low-end wages by lowering unskillled *legal* immig. too (See #4> https://t.co/bmI6tF3l4n)

IT'S NOT A WALL. IT'S A WHOLE "BORDER WALL SYSTEM"! Stereo salesmen have taken over the DACA negotiations. Unclear to me if this is a trick to build the wall or to not build the wall. (It's usually the latter.) https://t.co/rViy4th9pD
