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 @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

DACA attached to spending bill?

.@MaraLiasson says Trump gave away half the store in closed-door part of Tues meeting: Wall can be part fence (OK); "Something" on diversity lottery (meh) chain restrictions only on DACAns-not on anybody else (very bad). If no E-verify that's a crap deal https://t.co/svhGWc4Bvf

Pretty incredible that the comment line closes at 1 PM California time. No wonder they want to secede. You could still call the main switchboard and complain that the comment line is closed! 202 456 1414 https://t.co/VC7UPIATpJ

Pretty sure it's wrong to say Stephen Miller doesn't want a DACA deal. Think he wants a deal that includes substantial reforms–wouldn't be happy with no deal. Congressmen often just want an issue to go away with a bit of fakery. https://t.co/FIcACoP1fv

I predict Dems will agree to some wall. Obvious move for them 1) Wall doesn't deport anyone 2) Anti-Trump courts will block it. Danger is Trump will give them way too much for this. https://t.co/AWytLPQ3Bg
