So DeStefano (the man blamed for Trump's disastrous personnel picks) is leaving but they're still hiring NeverTrumpers (eg Cuccinelli)? https://t.co/fJhYXzx6D1

a) Cuccinelli thinks like Trump on immigration?
b) Trump doesn't have anyone at DHS who thinks like him now? https://t.co/0HlorDdklT— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) May 21, 2019

I hope @realDonaldTrump signed off on all of these. They only seem "presumptuous" if there's not a crisis on the border that nobody's solving. But there is. If Kobach doesn't turn it around he'll be fired. No evidence Cuccinelli can solve the problem. https://t.co/hOe58XXter

It's like the idea that we can "compensate" the economic losers from free trade and mass immigration. We can't. We're terrible at it. Won't happen. We keep up the pretense that we can so we don't have to engage in the reconsideration of policy admitting the truth would require. https://t.co/kV5iVGCwhN

The same was true of African-American residents of the Shaw neighborhood in DC, who worried about "The Plan"–ie developers and outsider gentrifiers would fundamentally change their neighborhood and displace them. They weren't crazy to worry! (It's pretty much what happened, no?) https://t.co/7XS8NyOG7q

They also worry (even when they aren't affluent) about the culture of Long Island City when Amazon wants to move in with tens of thousands of new workers. People don't want neighborhoods and cultures they like to be disrupted or depleted. It's not a dishonorable or evil sentiment https://t.co/1rBlljHM7K

Our legal system is simply incapable of sending home the people who it decides should be sent home, if they're released into the US. There's too much procedure & it's too expensive for ICE to track people down once they've mixed in with the population. We should admit this. https://t.co/nlLbB9Q4wx

Ann Coulter has the dirty truth Trump isn't telling you: the hundreds of thousands–on track for millions–of border crossers with flimsy "asylum" claims ARE GETTING IN AND THEY WILL BE STAYING HERE.https://t.co/KB2jEBSDnn https://t.co/lQgIL9LpjW

PS This complaint is why E-Verify bills have been twinned with a program for legal ag guestworkers. The Ag Lobby signed off on the deal, except the Western Growers Association. And the bill (Goodlatte's) came close to passing. Farm complaints aren't fatal. Trump should know that. https://t.co/n1a8OFS7DF

Note that Trump's complaint against E-Verify isn't that it's error-prone or a hassle or easily gamed. His complaint is that it works: "We would go through 28 people — 29, 30 people — before we found one that qualified." He's sayng farmers need illegals. https://t.co/QxbdbhIHOA https://t.co/7ejPwA3C8e

MORE ON SCHRODINGER'S E-VERIFY: Now we know why Trump couldn't bring himself to say "E-Verify" when announcing his recent big immigration policy–and why it's significant that he didn't say it (even if some say it's in the unseen plan). Hard to blame this one on Jared … https://t.co/NA4EoV48PH
