Steven Miller is a populist in the same way that like, I don't know, I've taken up cross-country running.

Either we're not doing it or both very bad at it.

Hello and welcome to the weeds on the Vox Media Podcast Network.

I'm Dara Lind. I'm here with Madaglaceous and Vox Senior Politics Reporter, Jane Kostin.

We are going to talk to you guys again about immigration.

I know this has been Friday weeds every week.

This is not me being super nefarious and saying we're going to turn the weeds into an immigration podcast.

They'll believe me. I would love that.

It's because yesterday, the White House, finally released, it really is.

And immigration, quote-unquote framework, that does not just represent its immigration wish list for every single thing.

And in theory, they think could be the core of a bipartisan proposal that could actually pass both houses.

The extent to which that is true is still TBD.

There was a big Russia scandal, Robert Mueller thing last night that is probably going to attract Congress's attention for at least a little while.

But the policy remains on the table.

And so we are going to be talking a little bit about that and also talking about the interesting shift that's happened within the GOP,

where in which concerns about legal immigration and possibly the racial subtext of legal immigration,

this is what Mad is calling the White Genocide Podcast of the weeds.

Well, yes.

No, I was just saying this document that came out yesterday, a part of what's significant about it,

is that it contained a clear proposal for dreamers in a way that previous White House documents hack, right?

That's part of what transforms this from a sort of a vague wish list to this is a proposal.

I mean, I don't think anyone would judge this to be a realistic proposal for something that will get 60 votes in the Senate.
