The person who can win the election for Biden is Trump. The likelihood of him damaging himself by reminding voters of his erratic, vindictive, etc. character seems to way outweigh the likelihood that anything Biden says or does, even with cooperation of MSM, will damage him. https://t.co/CxCbDg0Pp0

If Biden wanted to use a small, salient point to make it clear Normal Old Joe is controlled by his progressive staff, he could not have done better than this. Remember, he didn’t just say “illegal.” He said “illegal–that’s right” as if he were willfully trying to go rogue. https://t.co/YgZ0piofPO

Obvious problems: 1) You’d need some elementary vetting, especially if you’re in a hi-crime or hi-homeless area.

Good column but not at all convincing that with smaller populations we’ll be in a “world of pain.” It’ll be “melancholy”–OK. And Africans from still-populous countries may try to move to Europe & US which “drives up the probability of right-wing politics.” Is that it? https://t.co/rrdDloJ3Tc

But the key phrase in here is “orderly flow.” It’s clear from this-if it wasn’t already-that Biden wants to continue the much higher flow of migrants than the elected Congress decided to allow, and his “conservative” bill is designed to achieve it, not reduce it to legal levels. https://t.co/2rShaQOJgI
