    If his job is obtaining political power and clout, yes I believe this is true.

    Can you expand on sources for the 900,000 claim beyond that tweet?

    Has there been a nonpartisan or bi partisan analysis of the economics of illegal immigration?

    I’m not educated on the subject but my wild ass guess is that from a pure economic standpoint, both sides recognize that the US needs and operates on a good amount of illegal immigrant labor.

    Apprehensions have been used because it is hard to track or confirm crossings. This is the first I’ve heard the term “gotaway” but by definition that would be hard to quantify since theyre going off incomplete info.

    Kushner is a closet liberal. He was the one who pushed criminal justice reform in the Trump Admin. so I can actually believe he means it. The problem with him though is that he puts his and his family's wealth above all other interests.

    1 day he’s peddling MAGA talking points, and the next, he’s saying stuff like this

    people did initially speculate he was the mole ratting out Trump to the FBI for a reason tho I guess

    This is unfortunately true.

    Paradoxically, there is no way for him and the Republican party to overcome Trump than for him to win over Trump's base, at this point.

    That said, I see him as just an "aggressive regular conservative" - not as a MAGA guy or Christian fascist or whatever.

    He is trying to rehabilitate his image and get back in with his liberal friends.

    At first I thought you said 'he's getting puberty' which made me chuckle.

    He's obviously turning on the charm now that his godfather's ship is circling the drain. Guy doesn't give two ****s about 'human beings', his family's wealth comes from being slumlords.
