Don't worry. Fewer than 1% of DACAns are involved in smuggling illegals. PS If you don't want to be tracked down, don't drive a red Pontiac Aztek (famous for being the ugliest car on the road until it caught on with hipsters) https://t.co/20Cqu9LxOE

OHR SCANDAL: To call this Swamp behavior is to insult the Swamp. Tommy Boggs wouldn't have gotten involved with something this blatant. https://t.co/zaQ40ym0XV

What would really give Trump some extra leverage at this point is if he discovered inherent executive authority to build the wall anyway with DoD money. https://t.co/L3KT7BNlhA

Dunno. If somehow 1 year punt, who's unhappiest? TRUMP: No MSM deportation horror stories-but no wall. Blames Dems. No perm. amnesty. Base may still turn out//DEMS: DACAns twist slowly in wind. Anxious! Election becomes all abt DACA-does that help Dems? https://t.co/Zg4aKXKI1R

There is a Third Way! Do nothing (don't pass 1-year fix) & it's in hands of courts. Few press horror stories, but DREAmer anxiety. Plus courts may make it issue again quite close to election-Dems'll seem to be all about DACA again. Do Dems like that prospect? https://t.co/1DjpaRMkcY

"Durbin said that his party is 'willing to support a broadly unpopular and partisan proposal — the wall.'" Guess that big Schumer show of taking the wall "off the table" was predictably feckless. https://t.co/Mrw98MlcqX

That's why the pre-cave of the Grassley/Cornyn/@TomCottonAR proposal ('chain will change in 10 years!') is so dispiriting. They've thrown away victory at the beginning of the game. https://t.co/L2OrnpjNNH https://t.co/DKe4beA4qo

Pro-amnestiers have already caved on the wall. Isn't it reasonable to think they'd cave on "chain" too, at least a little? (It's a numbers question–you could cut chain by 30%, 20%, 15%. Negotiable! Goal is to keep unskilled labor market tight, get wages up.) https://t.co/43UjcoEWy3

Kicker in piece on restrictionist opposition to DACA deal is wrong: “They don’t want a deal, they don't want any deal.” Most conspicuously, restrictionist @NumbersUSA supports the Goodlatte deal w/ protects DACAns

Not quite sure why the MCCain/Coons Worse-Than-Durbin No-Wall-But-Hey-A-Study bill is getting such a huge send-off from the MSM. Does it have votes, or just McCain? https://t.co/9o7SMDlBPn

Democrat Sen. Carper more or less makes it explicit: he wants DACA so business doesn't have to do what's needed (raise wages, train, inspire) to get US/legal workers to take jobs https://t.co/idwF99tjVM

Basically Trump should do the opposite of whatever Ben Wikler of https://t.co/bl28kJ6Wwa advises him to do {'Cut a deal now! Hurry!'). https://t.co/QEJNFsu65N

Pretty clear Dems will make a showy attempt to return to negotiating table with Trump on DACA before March 5, no? https://t.co/QEJNFsu65N a) Helps them look reasonable to indies b) potentially traps Trump into deal that kills him w/ base c) they need to stop talking about DACA

As an owner of some stocks, I desperately want Congress to flood the labor market with immigrants so the Fed doesn't have to worry about wage inflation. Wage earners want the opposite. Seems as clear a class divide as you can have.
