The Biden immigration plans could wreck his whole administration from the start. They will invite a border surge that will force Biden to choose between mass detentions or ever-accelerating unauthorized migration. https://t.co/LaeLu0JLE8

You. Don’t. Say:
That’s not a bug, David. To the Left, ever-accelerating “unauthorized entry” is a feature. https://t.co/WUFxdVauBv

And, really, who could have predicted Dems would be in this place?
I, too, am shocked that Democrats’ plans are bad. https://t.co/ng0CxwUpAM

When someone tells you who they are, believe them:
When you accept that the far left’s final destination is a borderless, genderless, and atheistic world, all policy initiatives begin to make terrifying sense. https://t.co/KI4YsMJEOy

Lol here we go. The very second they don’t have Trump to be against, the neocons who paved the way for him are already back on their bullshit. https://t.co/u2hSMMkTHh

This is a trick designed to lay the groundwork to use any future border surge as predicate for claiming broader reversal of restrictionism and cruelty-as-deterrence is a failure. Even if there is a surge, it'll have many causes and won't in itself invalidate broader policy shift. https://t.co/HygF400Un6

Oh, this is how the reception every Never-Trumper will soon face:
There’s a certain comfort in David Frum returning to his pre-Trump loathsomeness. https://t.co/QgEcln8hTf
