Have they realized that building a wall is the cheap way to buy off critics–meanwhile Mayorkas will continue sluicing millions in via “parole,” “CBPOne,” catch & release, TPS, etc.? What took them so long? https://t.co/hJEjL2shk0

Note: This fits with theory that Biden persists in his (politically disastrous) border policy in an attempt to boost labor supply, tamp down wages & inflation and prevent a (politically disastrous) Fed-induced recession. He has to get migrants into the wage-lowering business STAT https://t.co/D9wolRtI0x

Though I agree it’s odd that when Abbott pays to fly migrants to New York it’s a cunning pro-borders move and when the Salvation Army pays for the ticket it’s anti-borders migrant enabling. Maybe the SA are also cunning restrictionists, sticking it to Mayor Adams … https://t.co/PVelviKGtE

Wildly understates Cantor’s immigration sell-out potential. (All the Ryan types publicly “‘opposed the Senate comprehensive immigration reform bill.'” That doesn’t mean they weren’t ready to push their own amnesty bill. See e.g. https://t.co/OjqMEzYCbk) https://t.co/2cVgleEQpN

Huh? Just because inflation’s falling doesn’t mean incomes are rising (they’d have to be growing faster than the falling-but-still-high inflation). In fact incomes have been taking a big hit (See first graph here https://t.co/qaGJF5QIq2). Do you need any more material grounding? https://t.co/jzgqrEQ0BI

An idea so crazy …. Let’s say there are 100M people in the US who think a second Trump presidency would be a huge disaster. In order to reach Trump’s reported $5 billion ‘dropout price,’ they’d each have to contribute an average of only $50. Seems doable! https://t.co/McjEBTmp3Z

The leading solutions to this mystery (from my readers-not me) are 1) He thinks it will help slow inflation (and a possible Fed-induced pre-Nov. recession) by lowering wages; 2) He thinks he has time to sluice in as many as possible, then reverse course in time for election. https://t.co/RVyvNyRhVk
