@kausmickey @instapundit I'm amazed that he thought that the desire to beat up university animals would play that much better for the cops.

.@dave_mears: as a programmer, what do you think of the r/w response to amnesty? Would just sitting around whining & posturing fly IRL?
Dave's avatar
From @dave_mears
@24AheadDotCom_ the preference and relative valuation on the amnesty question lost the dems a few points per contest. Not nothing.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@dave_mears: those GOP gains are nearly meaningless to the fight against amnesty: Obama's still threatening amnesty.

.@dave_mears: here's the smartest way to stop amnesty: http://t.co/TMvfeaTngz Plz urge Coulter, Malkin, Kaus, etc. to back that plan.

Note to @BritHume: IRS "amnesty" program still involves penalties, back taxes, yet everyone calls it "amnesty" http://t.co/cWk4xXebyS

@kausmickey @brithume If it makes people who were subject to deportation no longer subject to deportation, it's amnesty, regardless all else

.@WaynesterAtl: top amnesty opponents don't have battle plans to stop amnesty, or their plans have clearly failed. You should demand better.

Harry Reid writes Obama urging exec action on immigration. Signed by 5 Senate Dem leaders. Why not have all 55 Dems sign? Big show of force.

@kausmickey @davidfrum - Voters in GOP states approved minimum wage increases. Why aren't you saying the GOP is doomed for not passing one?
Mickey Kaus's avatar
From @kausmickey
@Hesiod2k11 @davidfrum I think GOP should heed that lesson too. Min wage + immig control both raise wages. Should do both.
Hesiod Theogeny's avatar
From @Hesiod2k11
@kausmickey @davidfrum - Why? The GOP got hammered with the minimum wage and they won big anyway.
Mickey Kaus's avatar
From @kausmickey
@Hesiod2k11 @davidfrum Min wage just a whole lot less salient than Dems pretend. Immigration bigger issue-in reality + politics.
Hesiod Theogeny's avatar
From @Hesiod2k11
@kausmickey @davidfrum - No. Immigration is far less salient than you pretend it is.

@Hesiod2k11 @davidfrum That's not argument it's mere refutation!
Hesiod Theogeny's avatar
From @Hesiod2k11
@kausmickey @davidfrum - If Obama had done this before the election, and the GOP wave happened, you might have had an argument. He didn't.

@Hesiod2k11 Doesn't Obama's decision not to do it before election prove @kausmickey's point, re: bigger issue + politics? @davidfrum

.@Arianna8927: whose action plan do you suggest to stop amnesty? I mean something everyone can do right now, before it's too late?
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@RobGeorge: Kaus' main signature issue is amnesty. Does he have an action plan - realistic things ppl can do now - to stop it?
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@Hesiod2k11: to really undercut Kaus, point out to #Teaparty types that he's just a paper tiger. He doesn't really want to stop amnesty.

So CNN's "State of the Union" has immigration "roundtable" w/ 5 pro-amnesty pols and 0 anti-amnesty pols? Balanced! http://t.co/YYQRkgm7e0

@kausmickey pretty awful. @crowleyCNN kept saying POTUS aim was to "protect from deportation"; 'work visas' cited in quick aside=guilty tell

NYT: Lib plan is 1) restrictions on banks 2) student loan aid 3) "enhanced" unionism 4) trade "reassessment." http://t.co/IUoikwjEHo [cont]
Mickey Kaus's avatar
From @kausmickey
Anyone think those 4 things are going to restore middle class + low end wages? At least immigration control has a shot thru tight labor mkt
Mickey Kaus's avatar
From @kausmickey
But while Dem populists rail at outsourcing of jobs through trade they don't dare touch insourcing of workers thru uncontrolled immigration

NYT pretends progressive Dem populists have solution to stagnant wage problem. They don't. Neither side of Dems does http://t.co/IUoikwjEHo

From @salimismail
@kausmickey - great point.. but does anyone have solution to stagnant wages?
Richard Yeselson's avatar
From @yeselson
@kausmickey True! And how are those bright policy minds in the GOP doing with that problem?
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@yeselson: best way to hurt Kaus is to point out to #Teaparty #tcot that he's just a paper tiger. He has no plan to get anything done.
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@salimismail: first solution to stagnant wages is to turn back amnesty. Kaus refuses to help with the only way to make that happen.

Most non-criminal illegal aliens are already safe from deportation, but amnesty would give 5 million work authorization. #JobsNotAmnesty
