12 years ago.@dylanmatt: how much more would an average middle class household make if #immigration reform passes?
12 years ago.@dylanmatt links a Giovanni Peri study. Search http://t.co/LzNXQh7xDs for his name. He's not credible. #immigration #uniteblue #ows
12 years ago.@dylanmatt: if a $50k household would get an add'l $80 a month from amnesty, what are the *non* fiscal costs of amnesty? #immigration #tcot
12 years ago.@dylanmatt: that $50k household would see reduced political power. What's the cost of that? #immigration #tcot #tlot #uniteblue #ows #GOP
12 years ago.@dylanmatt: still eagerly awaiting your replies: http://24ahead.com/c/51 Peri study refers to "average worker", which covers wide range.
12 years ago@24AheadDotCom You asked about "average middle class household". Also, citing the racists at VDARE isn't the best of arguments.
12 years ago.@dylanmatt: "average" isn't what I asked: I wanted "average middle class household". Got a number for that? #immigration #tcot #tgdn #sgp
12 years ago.@dylanmatt: back to the costs. Amnesty will hugely reward crooked businesses that've encouraged illegal #immigration. What's that cost?
12 years ago@24AheadDotCom @dylanmatt Perhaps you want the MEAN middle class income, since the average is pretty arbitrary....
12 years ago.@dylanmatt: "average middle class household" (what I asked) isn't the same as "average US worker" (Peri's 2.86%). #immigration #tcot #tgdn
12 years ago.@dylanmatt: re: vDare, it isn't "racist" to point out how Peri isn't credible. It is Lysenkoism for you to smear vDare for pointing it out.
