.@pojunis: zdravstvuite, ЦК tovarishch Pojunisovich! @AlexNowrasteh is delusional: http://24ahead.com/n/12032 #libertarian #immigration #ows

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 4:49 am

.@24AheadDotCom @pojunis I'll be curious what you write when you actually address my argument.

From @24aheaddotcom Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 8:39 pm

Delusional @AlexNowrasteh thinks "National Sovereignty and Free #Immigration Are Compatible": http://24ahead.com/n/12032 #libertarian #tcot

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 6:38 am

.@24AheadDotCom @AlexNowrasteh He CLAIMS to think they are compatible.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:07 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I made an argument based on political philosophy & history. Tell me specifically why I'm wrong.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:32 am

.@AlexNowrasteh Read @24AheadDotCom's link. It explains how free immigration would work in practice.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:35 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Bottom line: free immigration might work, if all safeguards were 100% effective. Seems rather naive.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:35 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I read it. Comparing forced Soviet settlement of Russians in Ukraine decades ago to immigration is not serious.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:36 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom It doesn't require 100% safeguards. No policy requires 100% safeguards to work well. Think of MB and MC.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:37 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Please explain acronyms MB and MC.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:43 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom My point: w/open borders we would be letting in tens of millions of very statist immigrants. (1/3)

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:44 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Do you honestly think we can (1)convert them to libertarianism en masse, (2)prevent them from becoming(2/3)

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:44 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom ) voters, or (3)stop socialist policies, e.g. through judicial review if they vote for them? (3/3)

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:48 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Due to bans on restrictive covenants, govt-sponsored Section 8 housing, there is forced settlement in US.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:49 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom That is, we're not forcing immigrants to settle, but we are forcing communities to accept them.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:49 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom I doubt it mattered to Ukrainians whether settlement was forced from Russian perspective.

From @SandraHartle Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:58 am

@Glaivester @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Silly me I thought gov subsidized housing was for the poor already here.

From @SandraHartle Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 7:58 am

@Glaivester @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom why do we let immigrants go on gov subsidies? No other country does except maybe Canada

From @knockoutmouse Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 8:08 am

@Glaivester @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Landlords are not obliged to accept section eight subsidies. There is nothing forced about it.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 8:30 am

@SandraHartle @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom We don't give much in housing subsidies to non-citizens. http://t.co/yOi7BWzu5U

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 8:31 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I don't support imm. reform because I think they will all be libertarians. It's a libertarian policy

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 8:33 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Furthermore, impact of immigrants on welfare does not support your prediction: http://t.co/tMPVGr26RX

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 8:34 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom The point in bringing up the forced resettlement in Ukraine is that it is very diff. from U.S. experience.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 8:35 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom We wouldn't b forcing places 2 accept them, we would b allowing ind. property owners 2 sell 2 whom they want.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:13 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom The point is, it will end all other libertarian economic policies.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:17 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Not so, especially since New Deal & Great Society happened when immigration more difficult. Imms aren't as . . .

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:17 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom . . . statist as u assume. http://t.co/rB0mFlV25F. Furthermore, think dynamically: How other voters will respond

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:55 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom (1) There was major immigration from 1880 to early 1920s. Difficult immigration only for about 10 yrs before.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:56 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom (2) Current immigrants tend to be from groups (such as Latinos) who lean liberal and pro-welfare.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:57 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Just about every immigrant group since 1798 has leaned Democratic. No difference today.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:58 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom So? New Deal was possible AFTER immigration closed bec. that removed major criticism that imms would take adv.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:59 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Immigrants use welfare at higher rate than natives: http://t.co/ykzjy0O9cs http://t.co/TqjGPYhmFZ

From @UqbarTertius Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 9:59 am

@AlexNowrasteh @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Big Depression, not immigration made people become more statist. Recessions are awful for policy

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:00 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom But poor immigrants use far less means-tested welfare than poor natives. http://t.co/aXwc30Febo

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:00 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Your complaint is with welfare state, not people who under use it.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:02 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom And the waves of Democrats let in from 1880s to 1920s had nothing to do with popularity of New Deal?

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:02 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom That's like saying Peter Dinklage is as good at basketball as Shaquille O'Neal if you control for height.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:03 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom So what? Point is, they use more. You're just explaining WHY they use more (b/c they're poorer).

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:04 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Depression did that. Prior to ~1896 Dems were laissez-faire party. Imm support followed Dems, not ideology.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:05 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom No, it makes it apples-to-apples. Means-tested welfare designed for poor people.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:05 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Again, your problem is with welfare, as is my problem. Maybe you should focus on that?

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:06 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Great Society programs happened when immigration was at its lowest % in American history. Explain that.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:09 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom The argument from your paper http://t.co/qnH9NatDNV argument seems to be that more immigration (1/3)

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:10 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom will shrink the welfare state by increasing racial animosity and resentment(2/3)

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:10 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom decreasing support for the welfare state. Yes, there's no way that can end badly. (3/3)

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 10:11 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom That's not my argument, that's a literature survey of other people's arguments that WE DO NOT FIND SUPPORT FOR.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 11:15 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom That just explains why immigrants use more welfare (b/c they are poorer). Doesn't change fact that they do.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 11:17 am

.@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Again, relative to Americans who are eligible for it, they vastly under use. That should make you happy.

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 11:18 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Except that more immigrants are eligible for it. That they underuse when you control for eligibility (1/3)

From @Glaivester Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 11:19 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom is only relevant if you adopt quotas so that %age of immigrants eligible is equal to (2/3)

From @24aheaddotcom Sat, Apr 5, 2014 at 8:06 pm

.@collectist: @AlexNowrasteh is, of course, lying. I quote the #CBO on *both* the "lost decade" & after: http://24ahead.com/n/11910 #tcot

From @24aheaddotcom Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 2:22 pm

One of the many things I've learned from @AlexNowrasteh is just how much "Comparative Advantage" is an iron law of economics.

From @24aheaddotcom Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 9:01 pm

.@znmeb: you might have @DLeonhardt 's ear. Can you ask him why he won't answer this simple question: http://24ahead.com/c/5 ? #immigration

From @ElliotFladen Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 4:54 am

@24AheadDotCom - here is a question for you: what are the legitimate conservative bases to exclude somebody from country? @AlexNowrasteh

From @24aheaddotcom Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 8:59 pm

.@Pablo_1791: I let @AlexNowrasteh stay in his bubble, but when someone outside his fringe gives him the time of day I undercut him to them.

From @AlexNowrasteh Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 4:43 am

RT @jhertzli: @Glaivester @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom My point is that closed border ideologies are not necessarily good for Israel.

From @24aheaddotcom Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 8:10 pm

.@usaforamericans: @AlexNowrasteh is engaging in the http://24ahead.com/s/immigration-tradition-fallacy Discredit him using that. #tcot #gop

From @AlexNowrasteh Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:23 am

Population control group commissions poll that says Americans want fewer people here. #yawn. @NumbersUSA http://t.co/aUmw0ojtfc

From @MarkSKrikorian Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:31 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @NumbersUSA Not "fewer people here" but lower level of immigration. Even w/ 0 immigration, popul would increase for decades

From @AlexNowrasteh Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:35 am

@MarkSKrikorian @NumbersUSA And then pop will crash, which is one goal of NumbersUSA.

From @MarkSKrikorian Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:37 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @NumbersUSA No, it'd stabilize, which may/may not be good thing, but it'd be the revealed preference of American moms & dads

From @AlexNowrasteh Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:41 am

.@MarkSKrikorian @NumbersUSA Revealed preference of Americans doing business, hiring, selling to immigrants is open borders.

From @MarkSKrikorian Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:42 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @NumbersUSA American moms & dads should decide how many Americans there'll be tomorrow, not Congress, corporations, unions

From @AlexNowrasteh Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:46 am

.@MarkSKrikorian @NumbersUSA Protectionist "logic." How dare Americans decide to work voluntarily w/ imms here w/o Congress' permission.

From @MarkSKrikorian Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:47 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @NumbersUSA Do the American people have a right to limit the annual number of immigrants? Yes or no?

From @AlexNowrasteh Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:53 am

.@MarkSKrikorian @NumbersUSA Congress & government do not have "rights." No "right" to take property, restrict commerce, etc. #natrights

From @NumbersUSA Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 11:57 am

@AlexNowrasteh @MarkSKrikorian The national community has "right & responsibility" (B.Jordan) to manage immigration in the national interest

From @AlexNowrasteh Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 12:00 pm

.@NumbersUSA @MarkSKrikorian Sorry, under US Constitution the government does not have rights.

From @MarkSKrikorian Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 12:02 pm

.@AlexNowrasteh @NumbersUSA True, but you're saying the Amer people are morally barred from instructing their govt to limit immigration-Yes?

From @usaforamericans Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 4:07 pm

@MarkSKrikorian @AlexNowrasteh @NumbersUSA Illegal Alien Pushers are worse than drug dealers, it's all about $$$. Both are deadly to America

From @AlexNowrasteh Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 4:08 pm

@usaforamericans Almost all immigrants throughout US history came to work & make money. Do you think previous immigrants ruined America?

From @Glaivester Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 8:29 am

.@AlexNowrasteh @usaforamericans @MarkSKrikorian @NumbersUSA Immigration is different now for several reasons: http://t.co/r78wgKtZNJ

From @jhertzli Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 2:53 pm

@Glaivester @AlexNowrasteh @usaforamericans @MarkSKrikorian @NumbersUSA I regard point 1 as an attack on Zionism.

From @AlexNowrasteh Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 5:30 pm

@jhertzli Then you "regard" it incorrectly.

From @jhertzli Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 8:38 pm

@AlexNowrasteh Point 1 is the theory that people with a more plausible claim to belong in a place should be kept out.

From @Glaivester Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 8:45 pm

.@jhertzli @AlexNowrasteh I think Mexicans in point 1 much more comparable to Palestinians, which would make @24aheaddotcom anti-Pali.

From @Glaivester Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 8:46 pm

.@jhertzli @AlexNowrasteh Let's ask @24AheadDotCom what he thinks. http://t.co/8fGTvwz88m Is point 1 about Zionism at all?

From @jhertzli Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 9:30 pm

@Glaivester @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom I doubt if it was intentionally about Zionism.

From @jhertzli Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 9:32 pm

@Glaivester @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom My point is that closed border ideologies are not necessarily good for Israel.

From @Glaivester Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 6:44 am

.@jhertzli @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom How so? Israel has fairly closed borders - to non-Jews.

From @Glaivester Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 6:45 am

.@jhertzli @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom Closing the borders - to non-Jews - is very good for Israel.

From @Glaivester Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 9:43 pm

.@jhertzli @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom So do you believe that Palestianians should have a right of return?After all,keeping them out (1/2)

From @Glaivester Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 9:43 pm

.@jhertzli @AlexNowrasteh @24AheadDotCom is a form of "closed borders." (2/2)
