Don't understand why this is a huge deal. As the story says, "Republicans expect that Trump would veto the resolution, and that the House and Senate would not be likely to muster the supermajority vote needed to override his veto." https://t.co/T2YSMma66z

Expected a powerful to-be-sure-we-still-hate-Trump paragraph on this one. But NYT readers will be disappointed. This is all they get: "While Mr. Trump’s foreign policy has been unwise if not self-defeating in many areas, he is right …" https://t.co/yM59EYd7r3

Who needs a "national emergency" when you have Section 284? https://t.co/IJ4TUhPNxH Authorizes construction of fences in "drug corridors." SCOTUS is going to say 'Southern border is not a drug corridor'? https://t.co/T2YSMma66z

CLOSE SCOTUS: If Trump relies on "Chevron deference" to his DHS's decision to invoke emergency powers to build wall, can he count on Kavanaugh's vote? Kavanaugh hates Chevron https://t.co/IJ4TUhPNxH [PDF]

Dems do want to make exploiting the asylum loophole more attractive, however. 'Come with a questionable asylum claim. We'll give you housing & health care and release you into the US.' Cost of the program: $18,000 per illegal immigrant https://t.co/SZZgWazAYG

BE AFRAID: Will Trump SOTU talk amnesty? Not going to make Dems love him. Might let Dems take advantage of him. In any Enforcement + Amnesty deal amnesty will come 1st & be instantaneous; Enforcement will be blocked, slow-walked, litigated, undermined & never happen. V-bad idea. https://t.co/o7kCzCaGL7

Trump has dangled the prospect of big (11M+) amnesty before. Would be in character to dangle again, or do worse than dangle. The sort of grandiose naive idea a Jared might have. Just TALKING about amnesty encourages more unlawful immigrants to come. https://t.co/RTf1JnZX0w
