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 …

22/ so, what do you say,
@AlexNowrasteh ? We going to do this debate? Just think of it - nothing but@CatoInstitute whitepapers. THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN LOSE!Show this thread -
23/ https://twitter.com/Stephen_Kent89/status/993494497928630273 … I hope that
@HvonSpakovsky reads my thread where I blew up@AlexNowrasteh with facts from his own white paper. It's be awesome if Hans asked Alex the same questions I did and which Alex can't / won't answer.This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
24/ Hey
@HvonSpakovsky, please check out the thread starting here - I used@AlexNowrasteh's own@CatoInstitute white paper to show that immigration is bad for small government. Please ask him the hard questions!https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/991301654665408512 …Show this thread -
26/ I read the entire paper you cited. Which piece of data shows this? Certainly not tables 19 or 20. 2nd generation can vote and are still more left-wing than native Americans. Please tell me which page / graph?https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993511423157338112 …

27/ The charitable view is that Alex is smart enough to know that he's wrong, but part of his job is, like a press secretary, to confidently bull onwards. https://twitter.com/ed_grimly/status/993511797348069376 …

28/ We're all following that thread as well. ...and you haven't answered the question in that thread either. Which page / which graph shows that 2nd generation immigrants vote the same as natives? I've checked every single graph; I don't see it.https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993511874720301056 …

29/ Same! I was an open borders libertarian just a few years ago. I got persuaded by facts / underwhelmed by the weakness of the pro-immigration argument. I'd LIKE to switch back! This should be easy - just show me the data!https://twitter.com/thepiclord/status/993512305483755521 …

33/ By "the graphs that @bigrightbear posted" you means graphs 18 and 19, from your paper, righyt?https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993513690686197760 …

35/ if so, I already analyzed this graph a week ago and asked you a question, but you never respondedhttps://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/991307305084956672 …

36/ I am responding. See abovehttps://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993514628880785408 …

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?
Show this thread -
38/ You keep saying that, but your graphs and underlying data do not support that.https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993514970074755072 …

39/ "once immigrants become citizens (that means that they can vote) then their opinions are the same as natives." Which table in your paper shows that,
@AlexNowrasteh ? We've just demonstrated that it's not figure 18. Is it some other table?Show this thread -
40/ This should be super easy
@AlexNowrasteh - you wrote the paper. You know it inside and out. Just tell me which figure you're referring to, and I'll screen-cap it and post it here, and then you can laugh because you're right and I'm wrong.Show this thread -
41/ Which graph, specifically,
@AlexNowrasteh ? Please tell us, so that I can screencap it and we can all see how you were right and I was wrong the whole time.https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993515890028269570 …Show this thread - Show replies
