      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.

      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

      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 …

          They know. The unearned arrogance is the tell. Alex is probably too busy writing up the libertarian case for communism to reply.

          This is why you are at ease with so many things... you build or take down, in a stepwise manner - pretty spectacalacular. "he beat me with my own writing..." 'That's gotta sting.'

          Alex, when you have your argument demolished this utterly, what do you do? Do you incorporate this new information into your worldview and revise your beliefs, or do you ignore them and persist in your misapprehensions? Please let us know, kthx.

          "Say we won and get out." Speaking as someone who read the article, I noticed that the differences were minute on most issues and that immigrants are less statist on two of the most important: obstructive environmental regulations and Social Security spending.

          Replying to @MorlockP @AlexNowrasteh @CatoInstitute

          In 2016 54% of native and 52% of immigrants voted for statist redistributionists. Immigrants vote less but unfortunately their kids revert to the mean. The electorate sucks adding more suckage doesn’t change things. The attitude differences Alex describes are marginal.

          In open borders most immigrants are going to be the ambitious escaping ChiCom and India these people are not going to be redistributionist. My only worry is they will bring too much nationalist nonsense from the old country but I think they will be too busy making money for this.
