I should stop sneering at Jared for this tho–his immigration plan's better than expected, so far (if we only knew what was actually in it). If it produces a "discussion"-eg of E-Verify-that might be one of the better outcomes, compared with passing it by giving Dems amnesty. 1/ https://t.co/94VmuVDs25

Best part of McClatchy Jared puffer is how his MidEast peace efforts leave him "grappling with the oft-repeated question of how to define success." A: Down. "[I]t can look like a discussion." https://t.co/dm6N7o4k2e

Has @KenCuccinelli actually been appointed yet? Is there some … hang-up? Bad idea for proponents of this terrible idea to give Trump time to think …

Don't be silly. Economists' (like Peri) have shown that more immigration can't mean lower wages. Whom are you going to believe? Prof. Peri or hundreds of actual California farmers now paying higher wages due to lower immigraton? https://t.co/R8HbJo6zZc

New occupational category: Mindfulness Facilitator. Used in context: "Learn how to begin a meditation practice and incorporate mindfulness into daily tasks with a UCLA Mindfulness Facilitator."
Someday we will all be Mindfulness Facilitators. (Or can robots do that too?)

Not saying this "czar" appointment has all the earmarks of a disaster. But it has a lot of them! Nominee not known for his immigration expertise, despised by both parties, shoehorned into a subsidiary position in DHS and told to somehow make it happen. Help, @LouDobbs! https://t.co/u0U8R8aNQZ

Kobach came with a list of demands that would allow him to succeed. It's as if Cuccinelli came with a list that would guarantee his failure. He's going to control 5 cabinet secretaries as a DHS underling? https://t.co/DkgtIEP4TO

Sometimes a flawed character with an non-perfect history is nevertheless the right man for the job. Example: the Secret Service head who brought down the KKK, described in @ChuckLane1's book . A good hire. https://t.co/1vxJapgbPr https://t.co/leuLxmc8ne
