You predicted 'mini-surge.' It's bigger than that. Still... RT @kausmickey: Prediction! (from 2012) #eerilyprescient http://dailycaller.com/2012/12/20/prediction-2/ …
@ThePlumLineGS It's argument for putting enforcement in place first. As @DouthatNYT said, 'If you haven't built it, they will come.'

@ByronYork@DouthatNYT FWIW, I thought Douthat's argument was fair and reasonable, as I said (not that he'l respond in any case) -
@ThePlumLineGS@ByronYork@DouthatNYT My analysis: border/imm enforcement under Obama far more effective than Bush: http://ndn.org/blog/2014/04/gop-attacks-obama%E2%80%99s-immigration-enforcement-record-are-ridiculous … - 1 more reply

@ByronYork@DouthatNYT It is not coherent to say 1) vague promise of aminesty later is magnet; and 2) put off amnesty until later -
@ThePlumLineGS@ByronYork@DouthatNYT this will be our 2nd amnesty in less than 30 yrs. it will create permanent promise of future amnesties -
@conncarroll tell that to John Boehner and Paul Ryan, who agree legalization must be part of any solution -
@conncarroll Without legalization, you either deport 11 million people or leave them in shadows of illegality. Not tenable. -
@mucha_carlos@ThePlumLineGS@conncarroll eMoney and Big Data solve this problem in 10 years. -
@aadrake how did you favorite that so fast. I think it happened before I pressed send.

@ByronYork@DouthatNYT If you don't clarify legalization, you perpetuate exactly the thing he worries about--vauge promise of amnesty later -
@ThePlumLineGS@ByronYork@DouthatNYT If that is the case, a solution to that is to take amnesty completely off the table. -
@GerryDales@ByronYork@DouthatNYT Okay, but GOP leaders themselves have said legalization must be part of solution at some point. -
@ThePlumLineGS@ByronYork@DouthatNYT So have I. I was just pointing out that your argument there validates the point of the hardliners. -
@GerryDales I don't see how. If it does, Douthat's argument also validates the argument of the hardliners. -
@ThePlumLineGS Most arguments will- the hardliners have several valid points.
