Daniel Dale’s thread:
Trump is so far saying his usual things about illegal immigration.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 1, 2018
So @jaketapper points out that the President, who said only 3% of asylum seekers show up court dates, was wrong.
Nope. It’s 76%, and was up to 99% under a new pilot program President Trump ended.
So just a completely entirely false misleading stat off by 10x.

Trump falsely characterizing Hill immigration debate. Says Democrats, who are in the minority, are blocking action: "It's only the Republicans in unison who want to change them." Immigration bill foundered on Republican divisions.

I think this is true – Trump doesn’t want to solve the problem – he wants an issue to rigle up his bigots:
5 years ago, the Senate passed an immigration bill with bipartisan support. The House refused to take it up. Why can't Trump close the deal? It's because he prefers the issue and the fear it creates as opposed to a solution. We're talking about this on #Hardball tonight.

Trump's not going to issue any such order, and there would be mass resignations if he tried to. It's all fake bluster by someone behaving as a fake commander-in-chief. But it goes without saying that this all is deeply embarrassing and utterly unworthy of an American president. https://t.co/RXY8zb3iKV
