.@jakebrewer: handy guide: I'm *discouraging* mixed status families. Everything you've said *encourages* them. #teaparty #immigration #GOP

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:08 pm

@24AheadDotCom You've presented precisely zero things that discourage or encourage anything at all. You're just reacting.

From @24aheaddotcom Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:06 pm

.@jakebrewer: you present illegal aliens bringing/having kids here as a logical decision. How is that not encouraging it? #tcot #GOP #sgp

From @24aheaddotcom Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:04 pm

.@jakebrewer: that's Econ 101. Labor shortages lead to wages increasing. Are STEM wages spiking? If not, there's no shortage. #tcot #tgdn

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:05 pm

@24AheadDotCom Heh. Not one thing about the US economy operates like Econ 101 would predict - which requires a vacuum of solely-market force

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:07 pm

@24AheadDotCom Just go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. You can see for yourself. Talk to a CEO or two, and see how many engineers needed

.@jakebrewer: is it conservative to encourage ppl to bear kids into perilous situations like mixed status families? #teaparty #tcot #GOP #p2

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:04 pm

@24AheadDotCom Now I don't even know what you're talking about. "encourage people to bear kids into perilous situations" ?

From @24aheaddotcom Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:02 pm

.@jakebrewer: decision of illegal aliens to have kids in U.S. is fraught with peril, as Elvira shows. #tcot #teaparty #sgp #immigration #gop

From @24aheaddotcom Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:01 pm

.@jakebrewer: decision of illegal aliens to have kids in U.S. is only smart due to presence of amnesty fans like you. #tcot #teaparty #sgp

From @24aheaddotcom Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:00 pm

.@jakebrewer: if there are #STEM jobs unfilled, then surely you can point to a spike in STEM wages. Where is it? #immigration #tcot #GOP #p2

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:01 pm

@24AheadDotCom It seems a little unfair that you present no facts or data, but expect me to answer? Come on now. You can do better.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 9:03 pm

@24AheadDotCom Ah yes, classic. Brilliant work! Turn what I've said into amnesty. Which I haven't said once.

.@jakebrewer: isn't fault of family separation w/ bad decisions by parents? #immigration #teaparty #tcot #gop #sgp #tpp #tgdn

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:59 pm

@24AheadDotCom What bad decision did a parent make? Wanting a better life for their children and family? Sounds smart to me.

From @24aheaddotcom Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:57 pm

.@jakebrewer: but, won't your idea to import more engineers reduce need to train Americans? Why build tech schools when #India does it? #sgp

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:58 pm

@24AheadDotCom Ha. No. We can't possibly train enough. There are 4 million unfilled - largely STEM - jobs in America right now.

From @24aheaddotcom Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:34 pm

@jakebrewer: hey Jake, I've been following your reports for a while. Could you list some of the benefits of immigration reform?

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:40 pm

@24AheadDotCom Sure. 1) Immigration writ large is overall a great thing. The system we have is built for the 1950s, not today. Needs reform.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:41 pm

@24AheadDotCom 2) we don't actually graduate or train enough engineers and scientists in the US, need to let many many more in.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:42 pm

@24AheadDotCom 3) Immigrants who are here but can't work without papers, want to work. Letting them do so increases tax base.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:42 pm

@24AheadDotCom 4) Separating children from parents is not only morally wrong, it doesn't help solve any immigration issues.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:44 pm

@24AheadDotCom 5) A "line" doesn't actually exist anywhere for most immigrants to "get in the back of." We need to create a "path" or "line"

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:44 pm

@24AheadDotCom 6) The tax code is the most complex thing I'd ever tried to understand ...until I read immigration law. Reform is needed.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:47 pm

@24AheadDotCom 7) No law is perfect, but doing nothing on immigration will only increase the number of people in limbo (and increase costs)

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:48 pm

@24AheadDotCom 8) I think a massive fence is a fools errand, but a secure border is a smart, good thing to have and reform includes it.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:49 pm

@24AheadDotCom 9) Historically, immigration hasn't been a left or right issue. It's part of the foundation of America that we should honor.

From @jakebrewer Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 8:57 pm

@24AheadDotCom 10) Haven't seen a single good argument against good (or better) immigration policy in any country's history ever.
