Dan Crenshaw claims the U.S. has an “open border.” @ReichlinMelnick tells @mehdirhasan: “That's not true. What is happening right now is that unaccompanied children are being given the rights they have under the law not to be rapidly deported...because they're so vulnerable.”

GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw “is incorrect” in claiming that Biden caused a spike in immigration by ditching Trump-era asylum cooperation agreements, @ReichlinMelnick tells @mehdirhasan, because “the agreements were not in place when Biden took office.”

As photos emerge of unaccompanied minors in overcrowded ICE custody, @JulianCastro says those conditions are unacceptable under any administration, but “the difference between Trump and Biden is that Trump didn't care,” and Biden “is working very hard to get them out.”

There’s only one way forward on Israel-Palestine, columnist @levy_haaretz tells @mehdirhasan: a one-state solution with “a vision of very simple values, like equality.” Right now, he says, “It's unthinkable. But so was, also, the end of the apartheid system in South Africa.”

How did @PiperPerabo go from ‘Coyote Ugly’ to discovering political activism? “I think part of the reason why I’m so active now is that I realized I wasn’t paying attention,” she says. Trump’s election helped that realization: “I’ve been really busy the last 4 1/2 years.”

Actress @PiperPerabo is working for passage of HR 1, the landmark voting rights bill. But what’s in it? “Americans don't have to listen to Republicans or Democrats on this bill, they can read it for themselves,” she tells @mehdirhasan. We think her summary is pretty good, though:

What makes @RepJayapal so sure she can get #M4A passed now? Experience: “I’m an organizer. Ten years ago, there were people who thought we were radical and crazy for proposing a $15 minimum wage. And here we are, working on passing a $15 minimum wage.”

Who’s the Republican Party’s frontrunner for president in 2024? Given the GOP’s total abdication of policy in favor of cultural outrage and white grievance politics, former conservative @monacharen tells @mehdirhasan: “Tucker Carlson would be ideal.”
