This sad statement about one man's lifetime love affair with extremely racist immigration policy is deeply pathetic, but it gets worse: #StephenMiller said this at a meeting in November within days of his engagement to @katiewaldman. (They just got married on Monday.)
@katiewaldman lol what
@katiewaldman IDK about you but I think this man deserves a vacation

#StephenMiller
@katiewaldman this man well deserves the place history has already assigned him as one of the worst monsters of our times

NINTH CIRCUIT TO TRUMP ADMINISTRATION:

Down with #MPP!

#immigrationlaw #RemaininMexico
(for those reading this born after 1990, this joke is in reference to a popular record album from the late 1900s celebrating the averred joys of unethical non-monogamy, which I have reappropriated to celebrate a temporary end to a truly horrific immigration policy, ok thanks)
(also, in the original recording "down" indicated a willingness to participate in potentially harmful behavior, where in the context of this headline the Ninth Circuit has strongly indicated its opposition to--you know okay maybe I've sufficiently explained this joke now)

L: 20th-century eugenicist & immigration policy obsessive Prescott Hall

R: 21st-century eugenicist & #immigrationpolicy obsessive #StephenMiller

I'm not saying Hall sold his mortal soul to push the devil's immigration policy for eternity...

But also not *not* saying that.
Hall founded the Immigration Restriction League, a predecessor of today's #TantonNetwork (FAIR, CIS, NumbersUSA). He was consumed w/advocating race-based imm. restrictions, often staying up into the early morning hours to research & write.

#StephenMiller is... Stephen Miller.
my theory does have its limits, however

#Immigrationcourts were not moved to DHS because of WHAT NOW

#AbolishDHS
THE PERSON LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGANIZING THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY DID NOT KNOW THAT IMMIGRATION JUDGES WERE A THING

There is a lot going on in this excerpt, but I may never recover from that gobsmacking punchline
This excerpt is from this 2011 Cato Institute report on why it's time to #AbolishDHS

cato.org/sites/cato.org…

which accurately cites this Washington Post story

A closer re-read of govt's #immigration policy paper & its possible effect on #socialcare drawing on some international learning: 1/
Govt’s decision to “not implement a route for lower-skilled workers” means the UK will be on a poor footing to compete with other countries. 🇦🇺🇳🇿🇨🇦 have all used points-based systems for years, & all found that they need some kind of parallel route for much-needed care staff 2/
Govt is firm that “Employers will need to adjust”, but have pledged minimal help beyond an additional £1bn per year for social care. Employers can’t simply adjust to the sudden absence of key frontline staff without significant help to boost domestic recruitment 3/

Here's a story about #Immigration and how it can create stepping stones for many people.

The story starts in #Littlehampton, some time before WW2 when Mr and Mrs Perilli moved from Naples to the town and worked in a cafe.

Littlehampton is in @NickGibbUK's constituency

1/
Would the Perillis have passed the points system being proposed at the moment? Probably not, so in a universe run by @patel4witham the story stops here.

Luckily, we can continue the thread.

2/
We pick our story up in an air raid shelter in Littlehampton during a bombing raid. Gilda Perilli has been pregnant for the usual allotted time and gives birth to a daughter - Anita Perilli.

One positive side effect of the administration's bonkers immigration policy proposals is think a lot more people are getting a sense of how executive branch policymaking actually works, the WH role in the process, and the importance of skill to both power and governance.
The executive branch may or may not be unitary in a formal legal sense, but it is emphatically not unitary in a practical policymaking sense. Actors all over the system (legislators, interest groups, POTUS/WH, appointees, civil servants) work to shape policy.
And this belies the most naive view---that POTUS/WH can dictate policy to secretaries/depts/agencies. They can try, but they can also be ignored, rolled, or flat out rejected. In fact, if they decide to centralize policy development too much in the WH, these results are likely.
