Actually @paulwaldman1 point #1 seems wrong. There’s often lots of important stuff buried in the fine print of bills. (That’s certainly true of the welfare laws.) You need someone to read that fine print to make sure the other side isn’t screwing you https://t.co/9E396HZrSZ

Here’s the context: Biden goes on to talk about ‘root causes.’ Six paragraphs down there is a mention of an increase in “technological capabilites” at the border to detect smuggling of drugs and people. Nothing about new limits on asylum claimants. https://t.co/V2jQMvsdjH

Sounds like Biden stripped it of all context, not me. And I’ll believe the “harsh crackdown” when it happens. That was not the message Biden chose to convey, it looks like. (Was his next paragraph was all about cracking down?) https://t.co/byZMbLgPTx

If you believed the “Deep State now wants Biden to retire” theory (not me!) this Weissman jag would fit. But the next question would be “Whom does the Deep State want instead?” That one’s harder to answer. It has to be someone who would win, remember. https://t.co/V2QCq5hpGg

Ip: “Immigration, another facet of globalization, fell sharply after 2016 and that has exacerbated labor shortages in industries long dependent on immigrant labor, such as nursing homes, trucking and construction, bolstering the wages of its workers—many of them immigrants.”
