MEDIA: Trump and His Party Dodge the Hard Questions

Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Matty Yglesias on whether Donald
Trump will attempt to enlist Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance to serve as
Trump's Deputy Chief Salescritter for Trump's bipartisan,
comprehensive, merit-based, immigration reform legislative legacy
authored by the Cheap Labor Lobby and passed by Mike Johnson's
House.GOV and John Thune's Senate.GOV and whether Thiel will allow
Vance to wipe away his path to WhiteHouse.GOV:

| There's already been significant intra-MAGA infighting over H-1B
| visas. There is also the Republican schizophrenia over the federal
| E-verify system, which is designed to make it harder for employers
| to hire workers without proper visas. In practice, red states that
| have already adopted such laws tend to enforce them pretty weakly,
| since they pit Republican antipathy toward immigration against
| Republican fondness for business. On the federal level, every time
| House Republicans have gotten close to passing a sweeping E-verify
| mandate, they end up removing it at the behest of agricultural
| interests, which rely on illegal workers to keep the food system
| running.

What will be the foreign born population in Howard Lutnick's Census.GOV
head counts and share of the American labor market in Lori Chavez-
DeRemer's BLS.GOV surveys at the end of Trump's second term and does
Susie Wiles foresee any GOP.COM strivers for WhiteHouse.GOV obtaining
sufficient donations to outflank Thiel-Vance from the right on the
National Question by stumping for an immigration moratorium?
