They could control it at a relatively high level. That's the essential strategic dumbness of their position-they decided instead to get more immigrants by not enforcing border. People may or may not like more immigrants-but lots more don't like the sense things are out of control https://t.co/lxpd8aTnL0

"One option is to cease accepting visa-less asylum seekers at the border. Instead, those seeking protection should do so at one of our embassies, far from the border, as was the policy as recently as the 1990s." https://t.co/vkQF8OZoDi

How much would Democrats be ahead now if they had a sensible plan for controlling immigration?

Yet Graham's "comprehensive immigration reform" somehow didn't include ending birthright citizenship (even though he says it's a "magnet for illegal immigration"). How "comprehensive" was it then? https://t.co/VidueHbbaY

As has been the case recently, Vox's @DLind gives a much fairer and clearer survey of the legal issue than the NYT–in this case, NYT's @adamliptak. Lind is v-hostile to Trump, but honest enough to avoid Liptak's 'the law is settled, shut up' template. https://t.co/XvWdlEj91z

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Running Behind): "Stop them at the border… I think the president has to use every tool he has at his disposal. And I 100 % back him up on that. Whether it is turning them back because we are not equipped to handle that many…." https://t.co/Jk19M4Glgy

Call it "the economy under Trump" then. When CEOs are complaining that they have to raise wages because of Trump's immgration policies, I would say Trump's immigration policies get some of the credit for rising wages. https://t.co/tw7cZa8pzF

Note to @EJDionne: "Coalition of the Ascendant" also seems highly divisive. Also rooted in "race, gender" and "identity politics." Predates Trump. https://t.co/5eCxhaTDJk

Also tends to confirm @JasonFurman's suggestion that the sluggish growth in AVERAGE wages is masking significant growth at the bottom of the wage scale (the opposite of what we've become used to in recent decades). https://t.co/AmX4JaR9Zd https://t.co/aFeb6yzJcs

Looks like @realDonaldTrump's economy is DELIVERING ON HIS CENTRAL PROMISE: To bring the most-screwed group of workers–the ones with least education credentials/skills–back into the economic mainstream. This seems essential prerequisite for American project of social equality. https://t.co/kpBmcxmUGO

Kiosk on the border. Asylum applicant on one side (MX). CBP on the other (US). Asylum seekers can apply, but they never "enter." Their application will be considered, same as other applicants', with video testimony. No third country needed. No new diplomatic treaty needed. Crazy? https://t.co/7uuxJsgQdk
