RT @Glaivester: .@odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom So your policy is have a kid in US, get to stay? Bad incentives.

.@odysseusbostick: that's not *our* problem. Americans can't be asked to change our laws to accommodate wishes of foreigners. #immigration

@24AheadDotCom you can certainly have that opinion, but "they should know better" is ruining our schools b/c lost children are stuck here.

@24AheadDotCom and moralizing will change that. #sorry

.@odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom #Amnesty for parents will not fix the ruined schools, will just encourage more immigration.

@Glaivester @odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom and cost us billions in the process.

@nomoreamnesty @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Deal w/ the employers + cre8 #livingwage instead of backdoor subsidies + flow will moderate.

@nomoreamnesty @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom But that means that #GOP has 2 sacrifice what appears 2 me their dream of creating an underclass

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom I'm not sure living wage is possible until cheap foreign employee spigot turned off.

@Glaivester @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom we need to clearly lay out how much govt $ubsidies we spend on someone making $8. #livingwage

@Glaivester @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom then the American consumer will pay $1 more for lettuce. B/c it's cheaper in the long run.

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom It is. And %age of produce price from labor costs is exaggerated. http://t.co/BPxEMqJnUT

@Glaivester @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom thx for the link

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom It comes down to, the economy can provide more low-wage jobs, or fewer high-wage jobs.

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom With tight labor market, fewer jobs are needed, so higher wages make sense.

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom But if you flood labor market with workers, higher wages = more unemployment.

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom Bottom line, increased minimum wage only works if you don't expand labor force w/immigration

.@odysseusbostick: does #immigration "reform" include increased enforcement as a selling point? I.e., future illegal aliens will be deported

@24AheadDotCom our problem is one way travel - once in you're stuck, a country of origin quota system + weak employer penalties.

.@odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom We all agree employers should be punished; #CIR gives #amnesty to employers/exploiters of illegal aliens.

@Glaivester @odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom MHO at at minimum 3-5yr jail terms and $100K fines per illegal alien hired. E-Verify for ALL.

@24AheadDotCom @Glaivester @odysseusbostick They should all be deported now and in the future.

@nomoreamnesty @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom For the employers.. not a bad idea.

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom We need to realize that the wealthiest, most powerful voices pushing "#immigrationreform"...

.@odysseusbostick @nomoreamnesty @24AheadDotCom ...are also dedicated to destroying the protections that you think newly legalized will get.

.@odysseusbostick: why are you promoting bad parenting? What sort of mom would leave the US & not take her kids (besides Elvira)? #uniteblue

@24AheadDotCom many parents are taken w/o option of saying goodbye, let alone taking kids. Others know the US is their kid's best chance.

@24AheadDotCom either way, the reality is the kids aren't leaving and they can't function without their moms and dads.

.@odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom So your policy is have a kid in US, get to stay? Bad incentives.

.@odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom What may be best in individual cases often makes terrible overall policy #tragedyofthecommons.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I believe #amnesty will fix the problems cr8d by #GOP policies denying #livingwage + zero employer oversight.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom U can't profit off of exploiting immigrants w/o allowing them to benefit from the #americandream. #GOP = immoral

.@BishopWester: how can you sit there and listen to Tom Donohue claiming US needs workers when nearly 90 million are out of labor force?

@24AheadDotCom @Glaivester @BishopWester Well, make it easy for job creators to come to USA, there are millions of us

.@EricaPenunuri: on his #immigration show, @morganspurlock took a pro-cheap labor position opposite Cesar Chavez. Don't be fooled. #ows #sgp

.@24AheadDotCom @EricaPenunuri @MorganSpurlock Chavez was long an opponent of illegal immigration http://t.co/rsK37obChy

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I think you all may have the wrong twitter account. Don't know how I'm involved in this convo
