Miles Kimball hypes mass immigration, despite being ignorant of a major downside
Kimball hypes mass immigration, and is at least honest enough to admit that he isn't familiar with any of the power that the Mex. govt has inside the U.S.
In fact, that govt has direct or indirect links to leading non-profits, they lobby at both the national and local level, they give out ID cards that make it easier to be an illegal alien (frequently with the assistance of local officials), and they take several other actions to flex the political power they have inside the U.S. See:

And, Miles Kimball doesn't know the first thing about that. Perhaps taking his advice on immigration isn't a wise idea.

11 years ago@iddqkfa @24AheadDotCom Sorry, I'll un-retweet it. But it is pretty clear it is adressed to you, not from you.
11 years ago@mileskimball No worries. I just didn't understand what @24AheadDotCom was trying to say and thought maybe it made sense to you.
11 years ago@24AheadDotCom I was hoping that @iddqkfa would take a 1st crack at them. Are you willing, @iddqkfa ? Let me know any that have some merit.
11 years ago@mileskimball @24AheadDotCom I was confused about lack of segue & opposed to the content, so blocked 24ADC. So I'm unaware of the questions.
11 years ago@mileskimball @24AheadDotCom "if those who died crossing border had known they couldnt get jobs here, would fewer have tried to cross?"

11 years ago@modeledbehavior See @24AheadDotCom eager 4 debate about immigration policy; I need to block for rudeness but do u want to engage? @iddqkfa
