Champions of US workers replaced by H-1B visa workers from abroad feel cut off from Trump White House. They know Stephen Miller's in there somewhere but "he's unavailable." https://t.co/nIhAdJ9S0J

ELECTIONS DON'T HAVE CONSEQUENCES AFTER ALL: Loose immigration "Globalist Koch brothers" [Trump quote] didn't support Trump, but their representatives are included in his White House's negotiations on immigration policy & border wall funds. Thanks, Jared https://t.co/6e6Rq6DDKu

Yikes. That leaves a lot of room for legalization short of citizenship, which is the real issue. #AlwaysBeParanoid https://t.co/vKm9Rrfa4t

Is @FoxNews on board with Newt/Graham/Koch/Kushner amnesty push? Will be interesting to watch @TuckerCarlson tonight. If it's all Covington, or transgender toops, and no immigration, the answer is probably yes. https://t.co/fPFItHLLP1

Gingrich has always been susceptible to half-baked amnesty schemes https://t.co/bpAftiM9ZB — in which he's cast as the statesman who can go into the room to strike the grand bargain. (This egomania was a persistent problem in 1996 welfare reform fight.)

In other words, if he was being a Trump "toady," he was even more being an amnesty shill. (A Dreamer amnesty for some miles of border wall would be one of the worst deals ever signed. The amnesty magnet-'Come, bring your kids, they'll get to stay!'-way outweighs wall deterrent.)

LOST IN THE COVERAGE: Newt wasn't saying ignore Coulter, Trump's base'll be fine with no wall. He was saying ignore Coulter, Trump's base'll be fine with Koch/Kushner deal to LEGALIZE DREAMERS. Not so sure about that! ('You voted Trump, you got amnesty!') https://t.co/LfLmI3fYn7

CONTEXT & PERSPECTIVE! I'd missed the CBS poll showing Americans wanted Pelosi to agree to wall funding by a 52-43% margin. Yes, a bigger majority, when asked what Trump should do, said he should also stand down. Still. https://t.co/Ue5gOXmNK1 pic.twitter.com/meLsYp67h4

"Texas officials flag tens of thousands of voters for citizenship checks" https://t.co/rrKVWPUjnx This is the respectable, non-Trumpy report on this story. Still not exactly reassuring. They "could have become naturalized citizens."

The proposal I dismiss here — instead of a shutdown, spending goes on CR-like autopilot — is making more and more sense to me. Each side (Congress, WH) would have hostages — the hostages would be whatever changes to the status quo the other side wanted. Seems worth trying, no? https://t.co/e2zK3msfZw

I once asked a smart Democrat who'd worked with Jared Kushner about his strengths & weaknesses. Got back: 1) He doesn't know what he doesn't know 2) Icewater in his veins. Recent events see to confirm this combo (which is a risky one!) https://t.co/hFoaEJSQGZ

If it's going to be 21 days of the Jared Kushner Show, with your out-of-league son-in-law offering up increasingly large & awful amnesty plans in exchange for some wall money, please PULL THE PLUG NOW. https://t.co/ftInHeyW7F

Big mistake for Pelosi to pivot to impeachment so soon, no? a) She should be letting Trump wallow in bad shutdown press a little longer. Instead she's helping make it old news more quickly; b) Reinforces suspicion that getting rid of Trump is what wall fight was really about … https://t.co/R93IoDw6uP
