@InfernalAcorn I support ending those bad policies too. But I also support capitalism so people should be able to move across borders to opportunity. Of course, if we can’t end those bad policies . . .

Chaos will undermine support for immigration reform as it does for every other reform (drugs, alcohol, crime, etc.). People rightly want order when they view chaos, but their instinct on how to achieve order is via more central control. This is wrong almost all of the time.

This is not what @potus Joe Biden promised. He told me in an interview (Feb 2020) that the mass deportations during the Obama administration were a “big mistake”. Now he’s doing the same and his agents are even copying some of Trump’s tactics. This is a turning point. https://t.co/OUP1M5BTG9

Yet the press release is mostly about his FBI-inspired plot to bomb a church. Why the disconnect between the guilty plea and the church-bombing claims? There are many more serious statutes that would apply.

This isn’t true . . . but if it were true then it would be a damming indictment of the FBI and DOJ. Very few of these cases lead to prosecutions let alone convictions.
They’re wasting their time.

@LanchestersCube @MAJTOURE He’s not right. The net-fiscal impact from immigration is zero to slightly positive meaning they pay as much or more in taxes than they receive in benefits. Holding welfare constant, it saves taxpayers money or doesn’t cost them to open the border.

@justindsweeney “Slave labor”?
Did slaves come to America voluntarily? Did slaves see their income go up by 3x-5x fold by coming here? Do 1/2 of guest workers die on the way here?
Don’t start with hyperbole like that.

In 2006, the Border Patrol recorded 1,071,972 apprehensions and 615,000 “got aways.”
Last year they recorded 851,508 apprehensions and just 140,000 “got aways”—a 77% drop since 2006.
Rather than brag about this drop, @USBPChief appears to be trying to spread fear. https://t.co/7DQ9pd8Deb

Despite >850k arrests along our borders last year, 140k people got away. That’s just what we know about. We don’t know who they are, where they’re from, where they’re going, what they brought, or what their intentions are.
I know this: they didn’t just stay in the border area. https://t.co/XInbiTT6AF

@NuanceBro You ever ask those activists “should any foreign worker be able to come here and work at any job, just like a native-born person can, without any restrictions?”
Or are you just inferring that they’d think that from other answers?

@NuanceBro The proper way to judge the effectiveness of those regs is relative to open borders. One could even compare them to a world of zero enforcement with those rules on the books. In each case, enforcement is very effective.

@jarg0naut Deficit spending while they’re actually in power sure is evidence that they are a lot less pro-free market than you think and that they claim to be. Which is my point.

If I was a pro-immigration Democrat who opposed Obama's policies at the time, I'd argue that our efforts eventually changed his mind & shifted the opinion of the entire party. That's a much better strategy than obfuscation and denial in the face of overwhelming evidence.

President Obama earned the nickname Deporter-in-Chief. From 2009-2016, Obama's administration deported 1,242,286 people from the interior of the U.S. That does not include the 1,507,220 border removals during that time. https://t.co/pCYw2AxWhV

Last month, I went to a lawless border town to report on gangs seizing control of the pesticide trade. It was a dangerous assignment, so I hired a fixer. His name was Leo Veras. On Wednesday, in front of his family, he was murdered. This is what I know.
