Friedman isn't being especially perspicacious here; free immigration plus welfare means you will attract those most in need, that is, those who take more than they give, from across the world. Individual cases may vary, but the incentive is thus. https://twitter.com/Static_Rage/status/1044918917884514304 …

They cannot admit that incentive structures actually work, though. They've been arguing against them for 50+ years.

Sure. And bear in mind that incentives are pretty much non-existent on the individual level; they only have effects in aggregate, singletons can and often do ignore them. So you can't look at Van Braun as an example of immigration.

Well, that's what a lot of people get wrong about statistics in general. Politics is full of "My neighbors (one example overrepresented in my memories) totally contradict your data; therefore your data are wrong!"

Right. if 80% of people follow the incentives, and there are 1,000,000 people, that's 200,000 people who didn't - you could live your whole life and never meet a person who did respond to the incentive. But the difference between 50% following and 80% following is huge!
