      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted The Alex Nowrasteh

      Alex, I went through your @CatoInstitute white-paper and quoted from it and annotated several of your graphs. Your own white paper shows that immigrants vote for Democrats, more government, and more welfare. Do you agree with that characterization - yes or no? If no, why not?https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993505608933527553 …

      @morlockP stated that he did that although he did not. You should look into it yourself instead of being led around by a twitter blowhard.

      6/ Proposal for @AlexNowrasteh : you think that the facts are on your side. How about we have a debate on immigration, using ONLY Cato whitepapers (and primary studies that Cato whitepapers cite). If you're in the right, you'll wipe the floor with me. Guaranteed win for you.

          It was a bit striking that he didn't even try and address the basic data. We can all see what the graphs indicated. Is his argument that immigrants favoring socialism will be mitigated by other factors? or that bigger governemnt is fine as long as GDP growth tops 5%?

          Yep. I also read it. The absolute state of Cato when its "Senior Immigration Policy Analyst" gets destroyed by his own source and then lies about it because his paycheck is dependent on open-borders-pushing Koch bucks. Cato used to be good.

          I am willing to believe that he *can* defend his position consistently with libertarian (*CATO* brand libertarian) principles, but that DEFINITELY requires addressing the issue that immigrants will support big Gov. Why is this not a HUGE concern for liberty-minded folk?

          Yes. It shows that once people naturalize (that means that they can then vote), then there is no statistically significant difference between their opinions & those of natives. Did you even bother to look at the legend on the tables?

          You see, that distinction matters if the argument is that their different opinions will influence policy through VOTING. By the time they can vote, their opinions are different.

          10/ @AlexNowrasteh Please view figure 18 from YOUR OWN POSITION PAPER which shows that immigrants have less desire to cut the redistribution of income than natives and more desire to INCREASE redistribution. pic.twitter.com/236iqKC56r

          37/ So here is my question: looking at figure 18 (the one you are calling our attention to), it looks like immigrants are 30% more likely to want much more government action to redistribute wealth. Am I misreading your graph?
