Tucker Carlson argues the Trump administration is backing off tough immigration enforcement after public backlash over violent incidents, calling it a bad and avoidable turn.

• Administration pulled back after video surfaced of a deadly shooting involving a protester at an immigration enforcement scene, which drew comparisons to a "60 Minutes" moment where Trump reportedly reacted that the tactics went too far.
• Carlson says there are simpler, less violent tools available: banning remittances so people working illegally can't send US dollars out of the country.
• He also points to lax enforcement of existing forgery laws, noting illegal workers routinely use fake documents that would get anyone else arrested on the spot.
• His take: the real reason tougher, lower-key enforcement isn't happening is that too many people and interests don't actually want mass deportations carried out.

Outlook: Expect continued political fighting over how aggressively to enforce immigration law, with remittances and document fraud enforcement likely to stay flashpoints in the debate.
