.@JB_Cox: the crooks #ACLU now enriches by enabling illegal #immigration will pay off more pols to look the other way on "more" enforcement.

.@JB_Cox: high min wage+"more" enforcement will be undercut by very same crooks that #ACLU now enriches by enabling illegal #immigration.

@24AheadDotCom That makes no sense whatsoever. You're wasting my time. Good day.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Higher minimum wage + legalizing current illegals - companies will get new illegals. Is that so hard to understand?

@Glaivester @JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom A vicious cycle that can only be broken by enforcing our laws and securing out borders!

.@JB_Cox: so, your stance is to support foreign serf labor to keep serf jobs from going to #China? My stance is to make serf jobs good. #ows

@24AheadDotCom Not my position at all. I think we should, right now, raise the minimum wage & increase labor law enforcement. Why don't you?

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Raised minimum wage is only effective with a reduced supply of labor. http://t.co/KLyXIrKatO

.@24AheadDotCom @JB_Cox There's a solution to the China problem. #Protectionism. It worked in 1980 w/Japanese car companies.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom No it didn't. It gave us shitty cars and non-competitive companies that required bailing out later.

.@JB_Cox: what sort of guarantee would #ACLU offer that they wouldn't attempt to scuttle "more enforcement"? #immigration

From @JB_Cox
@24AheadDotCom I don't speak for the ACLU. But regardless, why wouldn't you support higher min wages & more labor law enforcement?

.@JB_Cox: can't Americans do the jobs illegal aliens do now? Why would you help Tyson Foods w/ their cheap labor addiction? #immigration #oo
Justin Cox's avatar
From @JB_Cox
@24AheadDotCom Some Americans can do some jobs that are currently done by imms. Some jobs will go elsewhere if labor costs increase here.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom The solution: trade policy based on economic patriotism instead of neo-liberalism: http://t.co/Lu8HQU1CAz

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom So do you oppose minimum wage laws, labor law enforcement? These would have same effect on outsourcing.

.@JB_Cox: actually, ex-boss of ACLU #immigration wasn't just Defender of the Constitution, he had a specific policy: http://t.co/Som4a2eAn6

@24AheadDotCom that link doesn't hold the weight that you're ascribing to it.

.@JB_Cox: does #ACLU have a specific #immigration policy they favor, or do they just respond to perceived threats to Constitution?
Justin Cox's avatar
From @JB_Cox
@24AheadDotCom We have some policy positions, yes, and they are based on the Constitution.

.@JB_Cox: why do USChamber, Tyson Foods, WalMart, big banks, etc. want #immigration reform so much? What do they hope to gain?
Justin Cox's avatar
From @JB_Cox
@24AheadDotCom A # of things,including the increased economic activity that would come & a steady supply of legal cheap labor.
Justin Cox's avatar
From @JB_Cox
.@24AheadDotCom 1 thing I don't understand: if y'all worry that imms drive down wages, why not support higher min wage & more enforcement?
Glaivester's avatar
From @Glaivester
.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom I do support labor law enforcement. But higher minimum wages w/o decrease in labor supply means more unemployment.

.@JB_Cox: if you oppose #immigration policies of @MarkSKrikorian, why bring Tanton into this at all? He's a nobody.
Justin Cox's avatar
From @JB_Cox
@24AheadDotCom @MarkSKrikorian I didn't. Look again.

.@JB_Cox: does whoever funds @MarkSKrikorian invalidate his #immigration policies? If Gelbaum is a baddie, does that make you wrong? #tcot

From @JB_Cox
.@24AheadDotCom The policies of @MarkSKrikorian and his ilk invalidate themselves.

@24AheadDotCom And, as always, the answer is "it depends." Here, on degree/nature of continuing influence.
