53/ The problem is that there's selection bias. What you're saying is that of the entire population of immigrants, slice X is comparable to natives, but slice Y is not. OK, great. Two objections: 1) it's incorrect.

54/ Look at your own figure 18. Left cluster: 20% of natives want government to reduce income differences, 23% of citizen immigrants so. Right cluster: 14% of natives prefer no gov action. 7% of citizen immigrants do These gaps are noticeable and have real policy implications!

55/ Second objection: this is selection bias! You have not proven that waving a wand at an immigrant makes them only 23% likely to want income redistribution (as compared to a native at 20%).

@AlexNowrasteh, you keep using the phrtase "by the time that" ... but this is not time series data! This is cohort data!https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993519087555883008 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,

58/ We all read it.
@AlexNowrasteh thinks he's arguing with a bunch of trailer park trash and so he's using all of his normal debate techniques (which aren't intended to win over the trailer park people but are performative signalling to onlookers) https://twitter.com/ed_grimly/status/993520425350156289 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,

59/ He's starting to engage more now, though. I think that he's realized that he's actually interacting with smart people. ...and/or someone at Cato has given him a quick memo ("stop getting so pwned on social media")

@AlexNowrasteh I read the paper through start to finish last week (although I confess that I got distracted at footnote three because the co-author has the same name as a friend, and that reminded me to go check his blog)https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993521150704615424 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,

61/ My position remains that (a) most of the graphs and the text support my position (b) graph 18 shows that citizen immigrants are bad, but not quite as terrible as non-citizen immigrants (c) you assert 18 is time series, but it's actually cohort, so doesn't make your case

@AlexNowrasteh I see you've brought up statistical significance. For the difference between 20% natives and 23% first generation citizen immigrants to be "statistically insignificant", the `n` of the study would have to be quite small.https://twitter.com/AlexNowrasteh/status/993511151748165632 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,

63/ Can you give us the `n`, and tell us how you're defining statistical significance (p = 0.05 ?)? ...or should I dig up the GSS survey data?
