None of this stops Campaign Mode @nytimes from denouncing "broad and largely false claims that Democrats support an 'open borders' immigration policy." Depends on meaning of "largely" I guess. "Largely false" might mean "mostly true." https://t.co/2F4rdVswUV https://t.co/xzbb9hIIxo

Yes, Hillary's 2016 "no deportations" position–if you get in, you're home free–was a big shift that brought her close to open borders. The @washingtonpost, for one, recognized it as a "major break" from Obama https://t.co/xCAUW1fc8q https://t.co/yXIL72Mbvs

"U.S. Trade Policy Deserves Blame for the Caravans" If we're going to outsource jobs to poor 3d World countries, why not send jobs to neighbors whose millions of residents are within walking distance? (Instead of sending them to China,) https://t.co/6BQfnWYgES

So the entire world (5B) can in theory come here and claim asylum and we have to let them all in and adjudicate one-by-one? That seems like an absurd result. Can't believe law would require it. https://t.co/aqUM9h273q

Headline on the Oct 23 caravan lead story is quite something. Don't think this …*uninhibited* Resisting would happen if @JillAbramson were still editor. (Don't disabuse me.) https://t.co/C56tb04YNr

Too interesting! Voters might care that thousands of unauthorized migrants have set out to exploit a defect in our laws, and worry that if they succeed they'll be followed by many thousands more. Better suppress it. https://t.co/MO7haD1GBZ https://t.co/A7GSVG210T

The last caravan got in (through the asylum loophole–by meeting the too-loose initial "credible fear" test). Once they're in, authorities may never see them again … https://t.co/IeCs7f6KKP

Answer to the question about the full-year stats from @voxdotcom's v-knowledgeable reporter. Still preponderance of non-asylum cases. Still need the wall. https://t.co/GdvMe115uJ

UPDATE: @DLind suggests asylum seekers actually did exceed ordinary border-crossers last month (assuming all the apprehended families were asylum seekers). But not for the year presumably, since this is only the second month it's happened. https://t.co/nfOks7MNFG https://t.co/QPV7As4kIj

That's ridiculous. You need a wall for the non-asylum seekers, who still (if I read the stats right) outnumber the asylum-seekers (at least until everyone learns how to exploit the asylum loophole). https://t.co/2Sq9Q9CsSw https://t.co/ONAPXv7r2m

The time/$ costs of "due process" are our weak spot. Will we ever have enough judges/ detention beds to process all asylum claims? Seems like better answer has to be that claimants DON'T GET INTO U.S. AT ALL while case is heard. If MX a safe country for them, can wait there, no? https://t.co/5IpOUjAesv

I would say the ratio is 50 times out of 100 saves you, 50 times out of 100 screws it up. But copyediting takes time and energy, so it's net not worth it. https://t.co/QShxQIbO04

But the main way immigration control helps achieve the goal of social equality is directly: by helping RAISE WAGES for unskilled workers to a level that enables a mainstream life (not by making it easier to pass worthwhile Dem programs, though it does that too).
