The point is if the Wall would take 12-15 years to build (during which Dems would try to block it) maybe it was reasonable for Trump to turn down Chuck & Nancy's Amnesty-for-Wall deal. https://t.co/FwME2lTDa3

If we take lots of immigrants from a region–Middle East, say–we set ourselves up to become enmeshed in the affairs of that region's sending countries. This is supposed to be an argument *for* the immigration…[?] https://t.co/MRHNk2yK9I

Except that didn't happen. (See video at 10:00 https://t.co/Vtkj1zk5DQ) They booed the 'immigrants are natural Republicans' argument. Analogous to the 'Iraqis will welcome us with open arms' argument. https://t.co/u9dKvUmZ2X

So Trump boasts about getting good-paying Chrysler & Foxconn factory jobs in Midwest and then wants to bring in immigrants to do those jobs? https://t.co/JlUA647oTK ("I'm telling you we need workers…I want people that…are going to work for Chrysler")

On basis of video (@10:04) story seems totally nothing. 1) He never talks about "beauty" of naturalization ceremonies 2) He's not booed when he mentions one 3) He's booed saying GOPs'd win if they "opened…arms" to immigrant voters & then reacts to that https://t.co/zbQtJOrBKN

We want them to have to learn how (rather than bringing in hundreds of thousands of immigrants and guest workers–that's the easy solution for employers, not for the nation). https://t.co/KSf1uusypA

Merkel plan to make E. Europe countries accept refugees as a condition of aid meets resistance. “If we link the funds to migration questions, then we’ll be punished afterward–not the governments, but the people.” Voters. They're always the problem. https://t.co/iLYozFZSGU

Also Trump's plan–the Grassley/Cotton bill–wouldn't reduce legal immigration until 10 years (or more) from now. Seems like the Trump tax cut will have boosted (or not) by then. https://t.co/etT5tHF9U9

STAY PARANOID: "Every few months, friends, family and advisers like Ivanka Trump, Rupert Murdoch and Gary Cohn fantasize Trump will tap his superpower as a force for good–to…fight global warming, strike an epic immigration deal." Only every few months? https://t.co/KOY6IfmLOd
