If solid criteria for 'apply from home' refugee/asylum applications are enforced, that won't stop the flow because people are coming for economic reasons & will go overland. If criteria are watered down to zero then it's blanket permit for anyone from, say, Honduras to move to US https://t.co/TQNGskuEF9

'Apply from home': Seems strange trial balloon for Biden to launch. Does it reflect a) last thing aide told him b) flailing get-thru-today confusion or c) purposeful Dem plan to just admit practically everyone from C. Am. who applies without leaving home? https://t.co/0YCdgSwBx8

Famous D.P. Moynihan quote that parallels this:
“The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself.” https://t.co/U2E02F97hx

Last sentence does not follow. Trump's policies (non-tailored?) were working. If you keep out those who shouldn't be here (including having tight asylum rules) one size does fit all, as it so often does. https://t.co/YZyeYzJid6

If GOPS can't think of permanent longlasting 'other shoe' threats, how about reversible threats that nevertheless cut off Dem financial lifeline? Think Scott Walker & public employee unions https://t.co/PvbCAdE1EU So damaging, who cares if reversible? https://t.co/Vpj3ElH1DL

Refloating my pet filibuster compromise, rejected by editors from coast to coast: Laws that are "long-lasting and transformative"-or irreversible-should need 60 votes. That's environment changes, immigration, war–what else? Reversible laws would need 50 https://t.co/Vpj3ElH1DL

Do you think Dems face a significant "backlash in 2022" if Congress doesn't pass a farmworker amnesty or a DACA (subset of DREAMers) amnesty? Seems ludicrous. Vastly overshadowed by COVID and COVID relief bill, for one thing. … https://t.co/6vR1592IIs

I mean, all the GOPs have to do is call the Dems "socialist." That always works. Those Trumpy issues like immigration, trade, foreign wars–just very complicated. Donors get skeezy. Take them off the table. https://t.co/6pDIBqAvt5
