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.

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 …
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 …
34/ i.e. this? https://twitter.com/BigRightBear/status/993509794660134912 …
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?
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?
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.
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 …
42/
Was it figure 9, @AlexNowrasteh ?
No, probably not. That shows that immigrants are much more likely to want government to do more taxing and spending.pic.twitter.com/H4MUMBjELr
43/
Was it figure 12, @AlexNowrasteh ?
No, probably not. That shows that immigrants are much more likely to want government to spend more on welfare.pic.twitter.com/9kgGsvGCUA
44/ We've already established that it wasn't fig 18, which shows that immigrants want government to reduce the difference between rich and poor via regulation and redistribution.pic.twitter.com/rkIGM8iv3S
45/
...and we know it's not fig20, which shows that immigrants want a stronger War on Drugs.
So I'm left scratching my head. @AlexNowrasteh keeps saying "look at the graph", but I can't figure out WHICH ONE.pic.twitter.com/S3wmkItOlf

Clarkhat was great. Can't wait to see him again at HUN V and compare notes about debating @AlexNowrasteh , maybe get a few tips.

BASED ON WHAT DATA, @AlexNowrasteh ? Your whitepaper, your data. Just tell us what page and what graph. I'll screencap it, post it here, and then you'll have won.https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993517500385103873 …
51/
we don't IGNORE it, @AlexNowrasteh - we are INTERESTED in it. That's why we keep asking for cites.
What page in the white paper? What figure?https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993518379796443137 …
52/ Aha! OK, this is a valid answer. Thank you!https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993518615180861440 …
