ALWAYS BE PARANOID: Actually be quite paranoid. This meeting doesn't quite fit the 'Don't worry, Jared knows that an amnesty will sink Trump's reelection' thesis. PS @FrancoOrdonez has been a step ahead on this beat. Do not dismiss because he now works for @NPR … https://t.co/pPkwcV3gDZ

And Trump's failure to stop the caravans, after talking tough about them, was a big factor in encouraging the big subsequent surge in questionable asylum-seeking from Central America.. .. (Potential migrants know the truth when their cousin calls and says "I got in.") https://t.co/4f7GqShzQZ

.@ALIPAC sees Trump's deportation talk as "designed to pressure Democrats into joining the Trump-Kushner-Graham Amnesty deal for millions of illegals." Can't say they aren't staying paranoid. Good. https://t.co/5Jq3P8lgo9

.@SethStevenson points out that Hayes is echoing @Liz_Cheney's tone. Good point. Still! Why make it a put-down contest? (Cheney shouldn't have started it, of course.) https://t.co/MU3ENllNH6

Also, why the "If you spend a few minutes learning some actual history …"? There should be a twitter app that goes through and deletes these snide intros. Frees up 65 characters. If history's on your side just say what the history is. https://t.co/Yr0ZKR4ZGg

Well, if the problem is mass human rights violations being perpetrated in US facilities after people come in, saying "we're not going to let you in" under Sec. 1182(f) would prevent these horrible things, no? And people would stop coming. Crisis you describe would end. https://t.co/WcSeC2Cs0B

Open to this theory, but what were those conscious decisions, again? Seems like embracing free trade would have to be one of them. OK. Was technological change a choice?–ie inventing the Internet so everyone wanted to move to S.F. ? Sometimes capitalism just evolves, no? https://t.co/tBY3PsXaTy

The June, 1995 result seems shocking. But June 1995 was still the early, heady days of Newt Gingrich's Contract with America, before the disastrous (for Newt) government shutdown and before Clinton agreed to sign a welfare reform bill (In July, '96). https://t.co/pLKGph0NA7

Is it really true schools have an incentive to sign up their kids' parents for welfare (i.e. TANF-formerly AFDC) because it brings more federal $? School lunches I could understand. But the government shouldn't be encouraging families to go on the dole even if they don't want to. https://t.co/TxHyLBTIR8
