Scott Greer on whether Donald Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's
advice to downplay the National Question on the campaign trail against
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://highlyrespected.substack.com/p/immigration-the-indispensable-issue>
| There are ways to reduce immigration-just don't expect Congress to
| enact them. Any president can slash immigration numbers through the
| executive branch. Donald Trump did that in his own years in office,
| making it harder to legally come here. He issued tough rules such as
| barring entry to potential welfare recipients and cut refugee intake
| to the lowest level on record. His travel ban and hardline
| reputation convinced many would-be migrants to not come. Net
| immigration fell by an estimated 49 percent during his tenure.
| That's serious results, which our current president has done his
| best to reverse. Biden effectively curtailed immigration enforcement
| with a stroke of a pen, allowing millions of migrants to pour into
| the country. He's even figuring out ways to increase the number of
| legal immigrants admitted without congressional approval.

Does Susie Wiles fear Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron
DeSantis to outflank Trump from the right by vowing to implement an
immigration moratorium with a pen and a phone if not with a law from
Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell?

"What should be a story about the feds entrapping Americans has been
reduced to a campaign slogan by Trump's influencers, who are
pretending Trump didn't call J6 a "heinous attack" or threatened
that his own supporters would "pay" and then denounced them as they
were rounded up." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1632965989292732416>
