Still absorbing the GOP’s awful “compromise” bill. Never has immigration law discriminated *against* children. It has always afforded minors *more* protection. This flips American tradition, singling kids out for faster deportations than adults! https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/End%20the%20Shutdown%20and%20Secure%20the%20Border%20Act.pdf

New from the @CatoInstitute’s @David_J_Bier: “Senate GOP Bill Doesn’t Extend DACA. It Guts It”

This is an idea that I have written about several times before. It is the most unjust part of constructing the border wall, taking people's land without just compensation

Bonjour you can read it here: Thread by @David_J_Bier: "In 2018, the @CatoInstitute’s @AlexNowrasteh and I published a tremendous quantity of original research about U.S. immig […]" #CatoImmigration https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1078393923251437568.html Enjoy :)

The best explanation? The president’s policies are having their intended effect: reducing legal immigration to this country. But legal immigration to the U.S. is dropping at a time when there are more job openings than job seekers in the United States. https://nyti.ms/2QLHPgP

Total immigration to the United States has declined under President Trump, and fewer foreign travelers have been entering the country, writes @David_J_Bier of the @CatoInstitute https://nyti.ms/2QLHPgP

.@realDonaldTrump said, “I want [immigrants] to come into the country, but they need to come in legally.”-- @David_J_Bier @CatoInstitute: "So far in 2018, the Trump admin is denying applications...at a rate 37% higher than the Obama admin did in 2016."

Great article by @CatoInstitute’s @David_J_Bier on how per-country limits on Employment Based Green Card’s deprive America of better qualified and higher-earning immigrants!!!!
