A Notion of Immigrants 0
The Arizona Republic’s E. J. Montini highlights the hypocrisy. A snippet:
Earlier this year, Republicans in the U.S. Senate bowed to Trump’s demands and killed a bipartisan security bill introduced by Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
(snip)
The bipartisan bill was not bad for border security. It was not bad for those looking to stop the flow of illegal drugs. It was not bad for those working to solve the asylum problem. It was not bad for the border patrol, since it included more officers and enhanced security.
In essence, the bill was not bad for America, just the opposite.
The border security bill was only bad for one thing — Donald Trump’s campaign..

At the Idaho State Journal, Leonard Hitchcock looks at why Donald Trump wanted to use an executive order (“Schedule F”) turn civil service jobs over to political appointees who would do his bidding without question. Here’s a bit from his article:
The Schedule F executive order was a step in that direction. For an autocrat, a government must speak with one voice: that of its ruler.

Thom discusses how Donald Trump is trying to run away from debating Kamala Harris without looking like he’s running away from debating Kamala Harris.
Aside:
Methinks that Trump demands debate broadcasters promise not to fact-check him seems to me sort of maybe a little bit of an indicator that he intends to say things that might be a tab bit less than factual . . . .
