.@odysseusbostick: feel free to answer my question any time.

From @odysseusbostick Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 10:06 pm

@24AheadDotCom I apologize. What was your question?

From @24aheaddotcom Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 9:41 pm

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

From @odysseusbostick Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 9:42 pm

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

From @odysseusbostick Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 9:42 pm

@24AheadDotCom and moralizing will change that. #sorry

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:36 am

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

From @nomoreamnesty Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:37 am

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

From @odysseusbostick Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 11:01 am

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

From @odysseusbostick Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 11:02 am

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

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 9:48 pm

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

From @odysseusbostick Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 5:40 am

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

From @odysseusbostick Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 5:40 am

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

From @Glaivester Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 8:42 am

.@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

From @Glaivester Sat, Nov 23, 2013 at 10:26 am

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

From @Glaivester Sat, Nov 23, 2013 at 10:26 am

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

From @Glaivester Sat, Nov 23, 2013 at 10:27 am

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

From @Glaivester Sat, Nov 23, 2013 at 10:28 am

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

From @24aheaddotcom Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 9:20 pm

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

From @odysseusbostick Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 9:30 pm

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

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:34 am

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

From @nomoreamnesty Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:39 am

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

From @nomoreamnesty Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:40 am

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

From @odysseusbostick Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 10:59 am

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

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 9:51 pm

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

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 9:51 pm

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

From @odysseusbostick Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 8:59 pm

@24AheadDotCom I advocate for the security of families, children, our public schools + a strong economy. #liberal #UniteBlue

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:33 am

.@odysseusbostick @24AheadDotCom #Amnesty may secure illegal alien families, destroys schools and economy. http://t.co/KLyXIrKatO

From @24aheaddotcom Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 8:38 pm

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

From @odysseusbostick Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 8:40 pm

@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.

From @odysseusbostick Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 8:41 pm

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

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:31 am

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

From @Glaivester Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:32 am

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

From @odysseusbostick Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:42 am

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

From @odysseusbostick Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:44 am

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