It's basically a big amnesty (parents who brought their kids here legalized too!) with as few Potemkin concessions as possible to let some GOPs pretend it's not as permissive as it is. … https://t.co/QwFatJqAxc

Durbin bill won't help unskilled US & legal workers–little to compensate for big amnesty & incentive for more illegal would-be DREAMers/parents to come & bid down wages. No E-verify/no chain reform/no border loophole closing … https://t.co/cY5UX552ZT

Heritage Action is urging calls (esp. to GOP Senators) against the weak Durbin DACA bill (big amnesty, small border money, phony 'chain' reform). Seems like a good idea. Capitol switchboard 202 224-3121 or https://t.co/pdkPEhgW1s

Also suggests the Dem "they want to have the issue" analysis is a bit off. Talking DACA, DACA, DACA hurts them. How does 'having the issue' then help them in Nov. (esp. if to "have the issue" they have to vote *against* a DACA amnesty)? https://t.co/Vyebq7GIqf

WH dawdled firing competent colleague for spousal abuse. Did they finally take an hour or day before s—canning him? Doesn't seem enough for an Engulfing Furor story-but for harmonic convergence of extrinsic motives (Get Trump/Get Kelly/larger MeToo effort)

Same error in Don Graham's WaPo op-ed ("their undocumented parents brought them to this country"–not necessarily. Those who came of own volition at age 15 are covered too.) https://t.co/2Zd7Q1cblI

"The only way this [Senate debate] comes out as a positive for President Trump is if the Senate passes the Grassley bill, as it is, or with good amendments, and then it has to be conferenced with the Goodlatte bill from the House." https://t.co/XwwDVmNNxY

My line on DREAMers: https://t.co/weSQtCd5uQ They're OK-not esp. hi-skilled. But amnestying them creates *huge* perverse incentives–sneak over border w/ your kid, they get to be a citizen! You may get to stay too! Need compensating measures.

My line on cutting legal immigration https://t.co/N6fOQFbTdj Point is to keep market for unskilled labor tight, give wages at bottom non-trivial boost.
