      5/ so here's my question to @AlexNowrasteh re statistical significance in table 19 you show that ~31% of immigrants are in favor of government enforced redistribution, while ~21% of native Americans are in table 2 you show that ~6,000 people answered this poll questionpic.twitter.com/T3306bqZEw

      6/ I'm familiar with several mathematical techniques for determining statistical significance (although I, a mere coder and not a statistician, have only worked closed with Student's t test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-test … ) Which technique do you use to prove that the answers to #19

      7/ (where 150% as large a proportion of immigrants as natives are in favor of government redistribution) are statistically insignificant? I understand that maybe you didn't use Student's t, and used something else.

      8/ Please tell me, @AlexNowrasteh ,so that I can get the data ( The General Social Survey, National Opinion Research Center) and reproduce your an analysis. Since I'm an "innumerate troll" (your words) it should be pretty simple to shut me up with just 2 or 3 words.

Alex can prove that he's right, and it's not just a case of him and @CatoInstitute taking donations from American firms outsourcing jobs >https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1484152032399396865 …

          16/ ...is that it is illegal for American firms to PHYSICALLY IMPORT foreigners onto American soil and have them work here. Now, the interesting thing about high value knowledge workers is that more and more they can do their job remotely, via email, Slack, zoom, etc.
