Doesn't it show that any angle that promises a clear anti-Trump payoff is instinctively fast-tracked by MSM with less-than-normal scrutiny? 1) "animals" 2) "impossible" 3) these 2014 photos.
Three's a trend. But this is just for last 10 days. https://t.co/z5V0q8YCpm

Forget about broad-based pay hikes, executives say https://t.co/tUjErT5MBb If this is really true, I'd expect support for a flat immigration pause/moratorium to grow, until it ceases to be true. (Why take in 1-2 million more if workers here can't make progress in labor market?)

Forget about broad-based pay hikes, executives say https://t.co/tUjErT5MBb Doesn't this betray some sort of fundamental American bargain–i.e. as GDP grows, everyone shares?

I go back and forth. There does seem to be almost an unconscious instinct in MSM to come up with something that flatly contradicts Trump, even if it means torquing the story (from "10 minutes from now" thru "basically impossible" to "impossible"). https://t.co/0dlJRmuRAa

Surely there're some crimes that justify putting a mom in jail (which means separating her from kids). We're really arguing whether bringing kid illegally over border-maybe risking kid's life-is enough of a crime. Law says it can be. Does Meadows disagree? https://t.co/rjEiMcWAH7

Trump *chooses* option #2 (separate) because option #1–let em both in–would be huge incentive to come here illegally or gin up bogus asylum claims. But Flores forces that choice i(f you don't want to have mass illegal ingress) by banning some options. https://t.co/QX8B7rfNE3

Think Trump's legit beef is that Flores settlement-agreed to by Clinton-forces him to either release both mom & child into interior (often never seen again) or hold mom but not child (ie separate). Eliminates middle option (detain both mom & child together) https://t.co/SCOq61Gz5Z

Landler glides over that aide didn't say it was "impossible" (which he reported, without the "basically" fudge)–just poured cold water all over it. NYT torqued it a bit. Hardly worst instance of that but they should fess up.

Wish this v-thorough piece actually convinced that Sessions is making Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration efffective. It's not for lack of trying. But he needs Congress to expand E-Verify/close "loopholes" (eg Flores settlement). And build W–l. https://t.co/NOAIUgQ65c

"[A] tight labor market is the best social policy. America wins when employers have to exert themselves to recruit and retain workers." Like taking chances on ex-cons https://t.co/s4hESXUM6y PS More immig. is employers' way to loosen market. Immigration control keeps it tight.

Think Flores decisions, ruling you can't hold parents & kids together for long in custody-plus Wilberforce law-put Trump DHS to choice: 1) Release both into US (often never to be seen again) or 2) try to detain only parent (and release kid–i.e. "separate"). https://t.co/jRTBzm8PrX

Seems to me he's just trying to cram his whole negotiating position on DACA into one tweet. Yes, he wants legal immig. changes too (if going to legalize DACAns). The Wall inherently makes distinctions between illegal and illegal. Legals get in. Illegals don't https://t.co/ftOmoyx7ik
