Thinking about the moment earlier today in #Sarita #Texas at CBP checkpoint, about 85-100 miles from the US-Mexico border, depending on map. It was on US Highway 77. CBP agent asked the routine question, Are you a citizen of the US? I refused to answer.
He asked again. I told him that I didn't need to answer, He asked me again, I said I am not answering.

His supervisor came and asked me what I do. I said I was a journalist. He asked me where I was born. I said that I don't have to answer that. I know my rights.
(As I talked with the CBP agents, I was every aware of my privilege, unlike others who don't have that privilege).

Wow, the longer clip, @AndreaLeon, is even worse. @tombrokaw literally goes against facts with his closet xenophobia this morning.
The first part of this longer clip is this (some of it was cut off)

“The fact is, on the Republican side, a lot of people see the rise of an extraordinarily important new constituency in American politics: Hispanics, who will come here and be Democrats”
Then this: “Also, I hear when I push people a little harder, ‘I don’t know whether I want brown grandbabies.’ I mean, that’s also a part of it. It’s the intermarriage that’s going on and the cultures that are conflicting with each other.”

What #PuertoRico's Department of Public Safety (DPS), Héctor M. Pesquera is saying about @buzzfeednews article on 911 cremations
So a few things to keep in mind about this statement from Pesquera.
1) The PR gov't says that 911 cremations happened from 9/20/17 to 10/18/17. All natural deaths, it claims.

Going after #Trump? Evidence from the #tradewar. This is a brief thread describing a new paper that it is joint work with Carlo Schwarz @Warwick_Econ PhD student (going on the market this year). The paper circulates as @cepr_org - ungated WP ssrn.com/abstract=33490…
The question we ask is quite simple: were the retaliation measures triggered by China, the #EU, and the #NAFTA against Trump's tariffs politically targeted? We study the trade escalation triggered by US steel tariffs and various #Section301 #tariffs.
Interestingly, this is the first trade dispute in a long time that actually escalated to that level. The last case that came close was also the case of steel tariffs in the early 2000s -- but then retaliation measures, while being threatened, were never triggered as US caved in.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
