re: #161 Dark_Falcon

Could you give yours first, please? I’m a little reluctant to engage in analysis on immigration right now, given how keen some folks seem to be to downding me currently. So I’d like a safe baseline I work from so I don’t get yelled at.

Then why did you post the article in the first place? If you’re afraid to discuss immigration, why post articles about immigration?

My analysis is that Obama did what he felt was right under changing circumstances. In a perfect world, he would have had more for domestic education and not increased the money for child migrants. But the situation has become even messier and more chaotic in the southwest, so after consulting with Congress, he agreed to shift a billion from one priority to another (formerly lesser) priority. This is a small change brought on by reality, not some sort of huge political shift.
