Those are not the big issues though. The big issue is whether enforcement (wall/e-verify/visa track) ever happens. twitter.com/BenjySarlin/st…

Two down … twitter.com/kausmickey/sta…

I didn’t hear emphasis on decreasing current illegal pop. thru “self-deportation.” Not one of goals he listed at end twitter.com/RyanLizza/stat…

By “dem” I meant “demographic,” not “Democratic.” twitter.com/kausmickey/sta…

Embedded chart suggests that Trump meeting with victims’ families in 2015 set off his rise … twitter.com/kausmickey/sta…

Hard-line enough, anyway. Significant (& not unwelcome) shift to Enforcement 1st, something else maybe way later … twitter.com/costareports/s…

Tone wasn’t soft but there *was* a softening (or clarification) in there–no policy of Ike-like general deportation thehill.com/blogs/ballot-b…

The victims’ families were v-effective supporters/”Donald Trump Forced CNN to Cover the Victims This Time” breitbart.com/big-journalism…

No. Trump pretty clearly did not say “deport everyone.” Set priorities. Most stay in shadows until enforcement met. twitter.com/BenjySarlin/st…

Bill Clinton in 92: We must “break the culture of poverty & dependence.” Trump in 16: “We will break the cycle of amnesty & illegal immig.”

How does Trump expand his coalition? Maybe on issues other than immigration … (war, entitlements, trade …)

Trump’s talk of how he thinks Mexico will help secure the border was one little passage that might appeal to those iconic suburban PA women

“We will break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration.”-Trump. Hillary will do opposite. Seems 2 frame Nov. choice fairly clearly.

.@GloriaBorger hits on the plan: The bulk of 11M stay in the shadows where they are now until enforcement accomplished. It’s a plan.

Axelrod: It wasn’t a “serious” speech because it focused on policy & not sucking up to various dem groups pollsters identify …

2) Idea of prioritizing public charges/welfare users for deportation seems new (to me, anyway).

Two innovations: 1) Idea that we can pick and choose immigrants most likely to thrive (early in speech) has a lot of bite … >

The college-ed. women got the statesmanlike visit to Mexico. Not the speech. … twitter.com/kausmickey/sta…

Strong “Enforcement First” speech. Worked for me. Not a lot of rhetoric for allegedly delicate sensibilities of college-ed. women …

Turned ou2 B a fairly strong version of “Enforcement 1st”–talk abt legalization waaay in future when goals achievd twitter.com/kausmickey/sta…

Only e-verify left to go in the trinity of major needed enforcement measures …. (wall, check, visa tracking, check ….)

Waiting for the “but” in Trump’s immigration speech …

IT’S OVER! Please keep that in mind. (Hillary lead down to 2 points in 4-way race in latest Fox News poll.) twitter.com/FoxNews/status…

The campaign so far:
‘That’s not how it works’
‘Says who?’
