Here's a piece about CBO's report on the 2013 "comprehensive" immigration bill–and how CBO basically says it would double legal immigration, not reduce it. https://t.co/VGXYIiSU7u https://t.co/rs7iWi7zwX

Note to @costareports, @davidnakamura & @ashleyparker: The fencing provisions in 2013 Gang of 8 bill were entirely chimerical https://t.co/O2x4yjupOL And I don't think it reduced "legal immigration levels"–more the opposite. https://t.co/lfJbfNmzi1

DACA deal: It's all about managing the Trump base (to get them to accept an amnesty)? What if the base doesn't want to be managed? https://t.co/MOts94wWZV PS: Missing word in most of these press accounts: "veto"

There's just no way Trump cuts a decent deal on DACA in one big meeting with Schumer, Pelosi etc. Most Dems have to prove to their activist base that they're trying–they need to heroically fail 2 or 3 times. Then deals are possible, no? Hope Trump knows this

Answer: Yes. If he stays anti-Trump he'll get the greatest helping of Strange New Respect in history. They will have to retire the term. https://t.co/OHjNlg2V42

This, plus Trump's muddled 'Dems do nothing for DACA' tweet, suggest an internal dispute in WH, no? Good time to keep pressure on. Ivanka, bigshot CEOs will be on the don-t-drive-a-tough-bargain side. https://t.co/jAWo6ngB27

"Late last month … Kelly pledged to send senators a list of immigration provisions that the Trump administration wants to see attached to any agreement for Dreamers. But the White House has yet to send over such a list …" https://t.co/udeUzNtpyy

"DACA activists and Hispanics will go hard against Dems." If bluster, fine. If somebody is actually whispering this BS in his ear, and he believes it –well, that's why he would sell out on DACA, no? https://t.co/bUPK0D2mca

Of course, as Charles Peters once suggested, the real way to ensure sharp, unsparing coverage would be to have lawyers cover doctors and doctors cover lawyers. https://t.co/5BSuG1ZuBB

This DACA-deal gimmick doesn't even rise to the level of a fig leaf. The sort of fool-the-Bubbas ruse routinely tried in Gangof8 era. You'd think it wouldn't work after Trump elected. https://t.co/GYFc4acwWY [l'm blocked by @seungminkim but link should work]
