.@78andcounting: please reconsider using this GWB line on #immigration: http://24ahead.com/s/jobs-americans-wont-do @BruceGoewey #tcot #tgdn

@24AheadDotCom @BruceGoewey I pinned your request on my computer so it can be studied later. See you soon!

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Okay, thanks!

@24AheadDotCom @78andcounting How are you doing today?

@BruceGoewey @24AheadDotCom What is GWB? I am feeling better yesterday and today so far. Recovering from an oh, oh as The Rain Man wld say.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom It's cold here. The other night it wa -37 degrees below zero. Makes me want to stay in bed all day.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I don't know. It could be George W. Bush. Don't know other than that.

.@78andcounting @BruceGoewey: you two sound like Texans for Sensible #Immigration Policy: http://24ahead.com/n/6322 That's not good. #ows

@24AheadDotCom @78andcounting Are you still picking on me?

@24AheadDotCom @calicrusader @78andcounting If that's the case, this would be one of the few times the ACLU and I agree on anything!

@24AheadDotCom @calicrusader @78andcounting I doubt we'll ever see things the same way. Too much hysteria and misinformation.

@24AheadDotCom @calicrusader @78andcounting There are two sides to this but to see them you have to be willing to look at them.

@24AheadDotCom @calicrusader @78andcounting What ideological war? For the most part, they're looking for what we want too.

RT @BruceGoewey: @78andcounting @24AheadDotCom As far as standards go, they are generally willing to work far harder than their counterpart…

.@BruceGoewey: those "jobs" have to be put into context. Presence of illegal aliens has reduced wages & standards in those jobs. #tcot #ows

@24AheadDotCom @BruceGoewey The accusation that illegal aliens have caused reduced wages and standards in jobs in my opinion is not true.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom There may be a minority of cases where that is true but, for the most part, I doubt it.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom As far as standards go, they are generally willing to work far harder than their counterparts from here.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom There are so many myths about illegals. Many decisions are based on them. In total, it leads to persecution.

@24AheadDotCom I don't doubt your sincerity, and I applaud your ingenuity in looking for answers, but I generally don't agree.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I wish it were a black and white issue but there are many shades of gray. This isn't getting us anywhere.

@BruceGoewey @24AheadDotCom Bruce you are right, I shd tell my reasons for supporting Immigration. Migrants do work 'Americans' will not do.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom That is the truth! The lie is that they are taking away jobs american citizens would do. That is seldom true.

@24AheadDotCom No one was willing to do them in the first place. This has been going on for generations. This is a falsehood!

@24AheadDotCom The vacant jobs are what brought them here in the first place. There was a vacuum and they filled it.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Immigration reform would probably work to limit most problems with them taking jobs Americans would do.

@BruceGoewey @24AheadDotCom I ran a Day Care Ctr in a CA Migrant Camp 4 yrs while they worked. You get a better view of ppl when among them

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I worked with them for a number of years. Learned the language. Came to appreciate them.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom They're not perfect people but, all in all, that add a great deal of value to our country.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Most of our policies regarding immigration are based on ignorance, lies or unmitigated prejudice.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom At any rate, immigrants and migrants add far more value than anything they cost the nation.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I think that it has probably been that way from the first days of the republic.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom And, from the start, they've always been persecuted by the more established parts of society.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom And now I'm living on the border with Canada!

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Most of the "facts" that are presented against them are "fictions" designed to justify ignorance or prejudice.

@BruceGoewey @24AheadDotCom Just beginning to speak Spanish & my world changed to English speakers~I talk to cats dogs & kids in Spanish now

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I once worked as a classroom translator in the school system so my competence was adequate at one point.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom It's not that good now but my written spanish is more competent than before.

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Gotta get back to work or I'm going to feel guilty!

.@bpiatt: see http://24ahead.com/s/lazarus-fallacy Will letting anyone who wants to come here and work do so have downsides? List them.

@24AheadDotCom Open borders for honest hard working people is the best way to promote global equality. Now we have a birth country lottery.

.@bpiatt @24AheadDotCom Should we also end "birth family" lottery by demanding rich families adopt poor kids?

@24AheadDotCom @Glaivester @bpiatt It is well known fact: immigrants from any country - going to any other country arethe cream of the crop?

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom @Glaivester They certainty aren't the timid risk averse. It is a complex topic for Twitter.
