Yep. https://t.co/R1DzpO8nzO You would think @SenTomCotton would be their (the restrictionists') champion. If not him, who? https://t.co/531CpYzKso

Stagnant wages for Americans & legal immigrants doing basic, low-skilled work is the main problem. Let the labor market stay tight for a while. https://t.co/Xz4mVlu751

"The White House has botched the DACA issue …" That's from @MarkKrikorian, who says the fine print in Trump's proposal delays chain migration cuts for up to 17 years. … https://t.co/R1DzpO8nzO

"A few years" = as many as 17 years, according to @MarkSKrikorian. In other words, maybe never. Do you have an answer? https://t.co/R1DzpO8nzO https://t.co/nJTzigMX8R

Leading DREAMer cadres are perhaps more committed to the future-mass-immigration-forever project than ordinary DACA recipients, no? Do the cadres get a veto? Maybe in Dem party .. https://t.co/4JUbAhzxA1

Remember: "Chain" restrictions are purely prospective-issue is size of *future* flow of immigrants & how lo- or hi-skilled they'll be. Doesn't do anything to deport DREAMrs or any undoc. immig. 4 that matter. Why Dems unalterably opposed as part of DACA fix?? https://t.co/awnhLAdfOs

The big issue is "chain" migration, tho. Letting immigrants bring in nuclear family (spouse/kids) while curtailing ability to bring in more distant relatives seems sensible way to reduce lo-skilled immig & protect wages of hard-hit workers. Progressive, no? https://t.co/z4GoYwPJk8
