It's certainly old logic in California, which decided 'Hey, we shouldn't jail people who just smash your car windows to steal your laptop, they're just addicts looking to get some money.' Result: petty crime wave, end of Giluiani-era safeness. Cops don't even bother catching them https://t.co/MJ56Dzot1b

With Biden campaign for "restoration" while being opposed by @RonBrownstein's "Coalition of Restoration," it's all getting very confusing https://t.co/mWLGzYn8dc (Solution: Ditch Brownstein's loaded terminology)

In this sense, "sanctuary" policies go against "broken windows" policing, no? People who commit less major offenses are likely to be the people who go on to commit more major offenses. Argues for deporting those here unlawfully (and deportable) after the less major offenses, no? https://t.co/kluoJijxRM

Except won't the press be bored with Biden & Sanders and do their best to help someone in the underpack catch fire? If only to stave off ennui. Nobody wants to cover the '96 Dole race. https://t.co/42t10lVoCF

Binder reports there ARE actual policies behind the curtain of platitudes–at least in the case of E-verify https://t.co/Uk9CJCV7sh I agree the squishiness in unTrumpian, which seems unlikely to help him 2020-wise. https://t.co/mOncPKvyBt

Contrast what's been released about Jared's plan (e.g."restore integrity to our broken asylum system") with Gingrich's 1994 Contract With America–which tacked the text of actual legislation (eg on welfare reform) to its 10 clear, specific pledges. https://t.co/z9TSIsYH4c

It's the legislative equivalent of a women's mag puffer on Ivanka's global initiatives. An answer would seem to be a) introduce an actual bill b) get the President to-eg-hammer Dems on their irresponsibility in the face of the Million Migrant Surge thru the "asylum" loophole

That said, I think the shift toward "merit" is WAY less appealing to voters than Trump and Kushner seem to think it is. And I don't get the keep-it-vague, all-platitude strategy. They asylum reform section is especially BS-y. Can't be Luntz's doing-he's usually smarter than that.

I don't think Jared has sold us out yet! The plan is weak on the wall (or on turning what's now called a wall into a real wall). But there's no amnesty, and if you fill in all the vague platitudes with the best policies they might allude to, it would be a v-positive step. 1/ https://t.co/0Y1Sffu4xk

So @JohnBinder, and FAIR, say the White House's vague language actually does mean mandatory E-verify. OK! Why not just say that? https://t.co/7sPtaj8Pwv
