      OK that's enough facts for today! If you've seen all the facts and you still think the U.S. is being swamped by unprecedented waves of migrants...I just don't know what I can do for you. It may be time for you to move to Moldova, or pivot to video, or something. Bye. (end)

      Oh, someone asked me to add more facts, about immigrants' impact on the budget. Here are the baseline estimates from the National Academy of Sciences (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23550/the-economic-and-fiscal-consequences-of-immigration …).pic.twitter.com/XPpSWtwg7r

      And someone else asked to see the recent immigration breakdown by education status. As you can see, low-skilled immigration has collapsed (due to the collapse and reversal of illegal immigration).pic.twitter.com/DYZWskRgsU

          In fact, Gordon Hanson, Chen Liu, and Craig McIntosh have a whole paper about the collapse of low-skilled immigration in recent years: https://gps.ucsd.edu/_files/faculty/hanson/hanson_publication_immigration_risefall.pdf …

          Wouldn’t mind reading Mr. Smith’s view of Reihan Salah’s book on immigration. Could beat thoughtful discussion btw the two.

          People are not reading current data on immigration to form their opinions. It's very possible current politics is a reaction to high levels of low skilled immigration in the past.

          Something I wondered about in the context of #brexit, could it be that resentment of highly skilled migrants is the trigger for the extreme right. (Migrants are fine if they are a marginalised precarious class. But when they are doing better than you then that is threatening.)

          I'd suppose the black bar will be much slower for the cohort of 2017ff.

          How incredibly dull of people to ask you to supply charts that show that immigrants have to prove their worth when plenty of US citizens are just lazy POS

          Sad that the next black bar is going to look shorter when we add a fourth set to that graph in a couple of years.
