And bill mcgurn, lets ask. Looks like the president s gearing up to make this a big Midterm Election issue, immigration. Thats pretty clear, paul. Hes making an issue that he campaigned on, the wall and influx of migrants and immigrants from mexico. I have to wonder a little bit, paul, whether its a political issue is one thing. The other question is whether it is a substantive problem on the border. The dreamers, the people connected to the daca issue, they came here in the 1980s and 1990s when there was an enormous surge of migrants from mexico. The surge has stopped, in no small part because mexicos birth rate has dropped to about 2. 5, like ours is 2. 1 per child bearing woman. There arent as many of them that are going to come as there were before. The dreamers, i expect hes going to blame that on the democrats. The democrats in turn will say President Trump has made a conscious decision to strand these people who are here under no fault of their own. Paul to dans point, the Borde
Midterms. Dan henninger and mary ogrady and bill mcgurn, lets ask. Looks like the president s gearing up to make this a big Midterm Election issue, immigration. Thats pretty clear, paul.

Note . Not really in terms of the rush shoo probe as yorussia pro. There are two filings, one from the Southern District that dealt with the main crimes that cohen agreed that he had done, tax evasion, misrepresentation to financial institutions, Campaign Finance violations. Recommending a pretty harsh sentence for him. Then there was a shorter memo from the pecial counsel that goes to russia and we didnt learn anything. It sought to detail the ways in which he cooperated with the special counsels office. The only thing new there was that there had been some contact between cohen and an unnamed russian individual in 2015. But even the special counsel document has to acknowledge that that meeting never went anywhere. This is the meeting where russia approached cohen and suggested synergy on a government level between russia and the Trump Campaign. Correct. But again the memo admits that cohen didnt take the meeting. Suggested a meeting between trump and putin and that never took place.
