      5/ e.g. if factory owners are oppressing the laborers, what happens if we shoot CEO & demolish the factory? does this end the oppression and make the laborers better off?

      7/ perform the thought experiment where the US ceases to interact w the rest of the world at all. Giant force field around the US, nothing goes in or out. Are third world poor freed from their oppression ? Of course not, bc there never was any oppression.

      Presumably the harm is being done by the US gov preventing them from entering the US, not by the existence of the US. If the US gov went away probably more people would move to the US and become less oppressed.

      9/ even if we don't give the 1B foreigners the right to vote, we DO grant congressional representation to the liberals who live in same states as them so NY, w 20 M citizens and 1 B foreigners, gets 341 Representatives in House, other 49 states get 94https://twitter.com/TheCornucopian/status/1504092527628009474 …

      I am curious, if we imported 1 billion poor people immediately , who know doubt will have the power to vote, what will be the effect?

      10/ Picture 20 million New York state liberals running absolutely unchecked in US Domestic politics, running the entire country...plus 1 billion non English speaking foreigners covering the state in favelas. Brian Caplan is an absolute enemy of western civilization

      11/ here's a challenge to @bryan_caplan : if being inside the US is so good for the global poor, why physically move them here and not just expand our borders? Declare that Guatemala is now a US territory, US laws apply there...but Guatemalans have no right to enter CONUS.

      12/ Congrats! Guatemalans now have US IP protection, US courts, US income taxes, free trade w US, US building codes, US food inspections. Hire 10,000 bureaucrats down there to implement it. If this experiment works, do Columbia next. If not, not.

      As much as I find Caplan affable and smart, you really could just tweet the last part and everyone would get it.

      14/ I've read his book and I found it stupid and bad. A dozen different objections I had were not "addressed" they were quickly and cheaply glossed over.https://twitter.com/perrymetzger/status/1504096919932612612 …

      Because conquest isn’t generally smiled upon. BTW, Caplan’s book on immigration is excellent. Essentially every claim you have made is discussed in it, in detail.

      15/ re "conquest": fine - hold a vote in Guatemala first. ...but if we're saying that conquest is bad, perhaps that has some bearing on the idea of subjecting 330 million Americans to 1 billion new neighbors who will immediately become their political enemies?
