When I was writing about welfare and actually making phone calls, Jencks was sometimes, but not always, the guy you called who’d tell you the answer to a question. But he was always the guy you called who’d tell you whom to call to get the answer to a question. Incredible… https://t.co/6aGFJQ5FHT

Missed this, in @NYTimes: “Miller has done little, if anything, to try to talk Mr. Trump out of his support for H-1B visas to import high-skilled foreign workers–despite the fact that Mr. Miller has spent much of his career condemning such visas.” https://t.co/LHne7ueGgD

Note the parallel with abuse of “asylum” law, which relies on the long, cumbersome nature of adjudication (meanwhile bogus asylees get to stay and work).

Talk about the rule of law–“reliance” doctrine seems like a huge incentive for pols to violate the law. They know that even if something’s unlawful, it won’t be undone due to “reliance.” At least it won’t be undone for those (like DACA recipients) who’ve “relied” on it. https://t.co/kS5mWAgCyd

Coulter depicts “reliance” doctrine as a liberal ratchet-libs pass law, becomes a ‘fact on the ground,’ can’t be undone because people have relied on it. But really it’s a universal ratchet (if it applied neutrally). Could in theory be used to protect Trump actions from legal… https://t.co/2tXnhX279f https://t.co/BXabpwNmlL

Biden wanted to raise wages by running the economy hot and letting in millions of immigrants. That didn’t work (inflation ate the wages). What if he’d raised wages by controlling immigration, tightening labor markets–without the excessive stimulus? Seems more promising. https://t.co/NSpGNUkk0e
