Note that @JeffFlake is explicit that he's holding back good immigration reforms to trade for the even BIGGER amnesties planned for the future. "There’s a lot of nice things we need to do as part of broader comprehensive reform …." https://t.co/NLpUqCyXJY

Plutocrats love Dreamers! Makes them feel good about themselves. The ones they meet–the ones assigned to meet them–are always so nice and well-spoken! (Damage–more illegal migration, lower wages for disposable US workers, gangbangers–always out of sight) https://t.co/TQybC3wmkI

So Flake's proposed deal would only limit chain [extended family] migration rights of amnestied DACA kids, not of all immigrants? Are Cotton, Perdue, Trump et al going to go along with that? https://t.co/R5cSTed3lc

One of terrible developments of my lifetime–a function of greater income inequality–has been glorification of billionaire philanthropy as if it *were* liberalism. I blame @Slate! https://t.co/e7dS1gF5wQ . Philanthropy of equally limited appeal on the right. https://t.co/DwgRCbc1NK

Even charity by well-behaving corporations suspicious. Corporations not on earth to be paternalistic benefactors but to be efficient economic competitors. If they have spare $400 M to lavish on charity something's not working right. https://t.co/xL1xIeKOgL

$15/hr good but always suspicious of corporate philanthropy. Often a cover for misbehavior–eg Wells Fargo seems a persistent pathological actor https://t.co/nQNuyTMp4X. J. Johnson's Fannie Mae a huge philanthropist before it destroyed the world economy https://t.co/EvTWGUbdYs

It's condescending. Turns what should be honorable gains of unskilled workers won on economic battlefield into self-glorifying corporate charity. https://t.co/GoPMc4hIrz

HAS FOX FLIPPED BACK to Murdoch's pro-amnesty, Citizen-of-World position? Listen to video linked here https://t.co/NnZgucg3uI Trump will win by amnestying Dreamers! Dems aren't really defending Dreamers! Counterpoint: No, Trump is "grinch" hurting Dreamers!

Sure. But the point is he picked Gorsuch. If he'd followed George W. Bush's example he'd have picked Michael Cohen. https://t.co/Y8KmWjBVbW

You know what else doesn't "target people already living in the U.S."? A border wall. Yet Democrats won't accept that either. So something else is going on …. https://t.co/VSO5hnYx1b

How could Trump guarantee Dem control of Congress post-2018? Easy! He desperately needs his base to turn out so 1) Don't build the wall 2) Amnesty Dreamers (getting little in return) & 3) Hold lots of AL-style rallies where he pretends 1) & 2) didn't happen

Visa Lottery (50K people/year) just doesn't seem that important. I wish restrictionists wld stop talking about it. Great danger is Dems will use ending it as cheap cover for DREAM amnesty. https://t.co/xNxLcRfpJV ("Chain migration," by contrast, is > 500K/yr)

THE PERFECT NPR STORY: 'Is climate change causing gentrification?' Turns out probably not, but it's too perfect a concoction for @pritheworld not to cover for twelve–12!–excruciating minutes. https://t.co/OIGW6ZKTHX
