      TFW when you've already read a Cato paper, the hard data in the paper argues that immigrants are more likely to be redistritionists, you say so, and the Cato employee cites it to "refute" you "Fig 1 shows that all immigrants...are and less likely to identify as Republican."https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/991300942648799233 …

      2/ No, Alex, I'm not citing a Pew poll. I have been reading Cato papers for decades. It was actually Cato papers that helped PUSH me into a limited-immigration stance. page 1: "Naturalized immigrants support Democrats more than Republicans"https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/991301551577759744 …

          6/ a) I argue that immigrants vote for more gov b) you disagree, and show me your own paper, which agrees with my stance c) you ignore that d) you claim that I switched my rationale, when I didn't e) you claim I "hate" immigrants, when I don't.https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/991302344154517505 …

          Typical. “I hate immigrants for this reason.” Then I show you that the evidence doesn’t support that. Then you say, “but what about this other thing!” We could continue like this for days and end up back at taxpayer dollars. Circular arguments are boring.

          7/ "see the links" @AlexNowrasteh, I have been citing YOUR OWN POSITION PAPER at you for several tweets now. Please explain why I should not trust the hard data in the @CatoInstitute paper?https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/991301949214556160 …

          Yes, and I also know there is no evidence of that when it comes to immigration. See the links, much better than your misreading of Schelling or misapplication of lessons from a mediocre British writer.

          8/ @AlexNowrasteh Please look at figure 9 from YOUR OWN POSITION PAPER. Note how immigrants are MUCH less likely to think gov is too big and MUCH more likely to be hard left and strongly (not slightly) feel that it should do much more.pic.twitter.com/blrMAgIllK

          9/ @AlexNowrasteh Please view figure 12 from YOUR OWN POSITION PAPER which shows that immigrants have less desire to cut the welfare than natives and more desire to INCREASE the welfare state.pic.twitter.com/arftgSoHDY

          11/ Hey @AlexNowrasteh You should read this @CatoInstitute position paper. It's great! Every single page of it makes my point and demolishes the Cato argument. Top notch work! Do you like the war on drugs? As a libertarian I don't. ...but immigrants sure do!pic.twitter.com/7coz9nkuH6

          12/ Alex, @CatoInstitute papers are just packed with great info. YOU SHOULD READ ONE SOME TIME. Figure 22 is fascinating. Turns out that immigrants want the government to tax productive native citizens to help ... wait for it ... poor immigrants! SO LIBERTARIAN !pic.twitter.com/tuMZazzTuX

          15/ I go back and forth about whether @AlexNowrasteh and @CatoInstitute don't see the contradiction in their stance, or if they do. Basically "stupid or evil?" Is there some third possibility? https://twitter.com/exiteldrick/status/991317161317748737 …
