Take it up with @Jonathanweisman, who says:
"the judicial order is a gift to 2018 Senate Dems who never wanted to shut down the govt over immigration. Expect Dems to fracture & gvt to stay funded."
So Dems up for reelection thought it wouldn't help them? https://t.co/1cWOZmMuTW— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) January 14, 2018

The NYT calling the weak Gang of Six proposal "an emerging agreement" seems a bit much. It had the votes of the 6 veteran amnestiers who cooked it up. Who else? https://t.co/NTwkZ6SvV5

Democrats would be crazy to shut down the government over DACA. They'd also be crazy to want to "have the issue" in the midterms–won't help them, will hurt DACAns. That suggests they'll want to cut a deal after the budget's passed, no? https://t.co/Jm9Oj5H5Cq

Uniquely high cash welfare use by Ukrainian immigrants (who have relatively high education levels) sticks out like sore thumb. Is there an explanation? Statistical glitch? Refugees signed up when arrive? Over-reporting? https://t.co/eGMcuKWv6t

Durbin & Co do seem to be using the Gang of 8 playbook–luxuriate in MSM favoritism, pretend they represent unstoppable consensus–that didn't work even before it helped get Trump elected (after sinking Rubio's presidential candidacy). https://t.co/jb6RVLLAVS

LET'S CON DON: "The deal [wld] include a generous pathway to citizenship for perhaps millions of illegal immigrants, while giving him funding for about 10 percent of his border wall and-at best-a slim cut of abt 3 percent in the chain of family migration" https://t.co/BqkSEuEHGN

Why is a bill that amnesties 700,000 illegal immigrants (DACAns) a "hard-line" stand? I can think of harder lines. https://t.co/q6DiLxgUys

So under the (I hope short-lived) Gang of Amnesty plan, would the chain migration of adult children be ended https://t.co/J8mAD2CRrg or just delayed https://t.co/16vXsk9HSg?

Wonder how much of this is really due to tax reform and how much due to general labor market tightness. Either way, good. https://t.co/UcBGlmt2i0

The Gang of Six is one side (pro-amnesty) negotiating with itself, right? Then pretending it represents consensus… https://t.co/PNsLEvxo9x

The @FoxNews party line here–'Can the outsider businessman succeed where others have failed?'–is pretty annoying. (They don't seem to care if "succeed" means secure border or Gang of 8 amnesty.) https://t.co/GxSThF1jNb

The adherence to the "family-based migration" memo has been impressive. @MaraLiasson stops herself in mid-sentence to insert the mandated language. https://t.co/FBVnlDobjE As a result, public thinks we're talking about spouses & young children. We're not. https://t.co/v4vtTqnPHi
