@24AheadDotCom @Glaivester @curtisfrye @olgakhazan A lot of who you think are 'highly skilled' immigrants aren't highly skilled at all #H1B

.@JB_Cox: most would consider Penn a slightly lesser school than Harvard, and much lesser vis-a-vis admission to the "corridors of power".

@24AheadDotCom The "they'll be fine" comment is from experience: I was admitted to Harvard, went elsewhere (not Penn), still got to Yale Law

.@24AheadDotCom @JB_Cox on American students displaced by DREAMers:"Let them eat cake." https://t.co/8S8j38Ic7x @Esquire_Dixon @DaraPurvis

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom What if they lost a scholarship to a DREAMer? Can't just get a "lesser scholarship" and be okay.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Not quite what I said, esp. as I didn't accept the premises of the question (as I also stated).

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Give me an example of that happening.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom And DREAMers *are* "Americans" - just don't have papers yet. They're not going anywhere, so don't waste talents.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom DREAMers are "Americans?"Like the students at LiveOakHighSchool who are offended by the flag? http://t.co/VaZ20xGf8c

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom If they are "Americans," why don't they want to speak our language? http://t.co/2haJakKcet

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom I'm not certain how to find specific examples. Any time a #DACA recipient gets a scholarship, someone else doesn't.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Or are you arguing that #DACA or #DREAMAct will increase scholarship availability to compensate?

@Glaivester @JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Not to mention if someone gets displaced at Harvard, then someone gets displaced at Penn, on down.

@Glaivester @JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom And ultimately a poorer, less fortunate, born American citizen gets cut for a DREAMer from up the ladder.

@ThenTheJudgment @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom That's not how it works. See supra re: supply not being fixed & how many colleges take everyone.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Not true. There are many DREAMer-specific scholarships. And DREAMers have inspired many to create new ones.

.@Glaivester "We" have many languages. Lo siento que no lo entiendes. @24AheadDotCom

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom That's not what that case was about. Read the opinion.

@JB_Cox @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Guess magical "infinite supply! infinite spots!" thinking really is a mainstay of pro-immigration types.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom English is the American language. It just doesn't have the papers yet.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom So you are tacitly admitting that by calling DREAMers "Americans" you are endorsing a linguistically disunited US.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom So you deny DREAMers apply for generally available scholarships?

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Or have they inspired any scholarships that non-DREAMers are eligible for?

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Are you denying that there was fear at Live Oak that displaying an American flag would enrage Latino students?

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom I'm not arguing legal decision, I'm wondering why American students would be offended by American flag.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Then read the decision.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I speak Spanish. That mean I'm guilty of creating linguistic balkinatization?

@ThenTheJudgment I'm sorry, but I can't understand things for you. Suffice it to say things aren't as you assume @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Some do. But they're ineligible for a ton (probably most).

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Nothing wrong with learning a foreign language - but it shouldn't be required in order to get along in U.S.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom As Spanish teacher Allan Wall says, "foreign languages should remain foreign."

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom We don't want systems like Canada's,where bilingualism means Quebecois automatically advantaged. #quebecoisprivilege

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

@jhertzli Then you "regard" it incorrectly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

.@24AheadDotCom @chickenlady246 i.e. not "forget about the immigration issue," but "Congress, stop looking for ways to pass something."
