@CollinRugg Is there any evidence for this?

@DrFrankTurek "Please soften the hearts of the world to be more accepting of them."

@NumbersUSA Parole isn't illegal though, right?

@TheRealAstox @DisneyLorcana I can't speak for the devs, of course, but I'm pretty sure the "another" text in the Sceptre of Arendelle is necessary to distinguish it from the 'chosen' character receiving support. In other words, it's a second "choice", not necessarily a second character.

@kdpindc @zhoyoyo I have alot of friends here on H-1B, and I can't believe our restrictions against them are so awful. We need to lift the employment requirement for H-1B.

@ShutUpShow I enjoy your content when you enjoy your content: go out and experiment; let's see what happens!

@LilaGraceRose If you agree that "the dangers... are unknown" then I don't see how you can claim that it's dangerous.

@kennymxu Would you say the same about "heterosexual concepts"?

[InOtterWords @In_Otter_Words]

@JxhnBxnder Disappointing news to hear. Most economists agree that the average American would be better off if much more low-skill immigration were allowed into the country.

@wendelltalks I'd certainly agree that Jesus probably existed, but I think you overstate the evidence.

1. We have no eyewitness accounts of anything in Jesus' life.
2. Josephus seems to merely be reporting what he's heard about Christians (40 years after Jesus' death).

@FAIRImmigration Increase legal immigration == decrease illegal immigration.

[InOtterWords @In_Otter_Words]

@bryan_caplan Depends almost entirely on how much it separates me from my family and partner.

[InOtterWords @In_Otter_Words]

@StrongBordersTX The first two directly take my private property without my permission. Immigration doesn't do that (even illegal immigration).

The last one isn't even illegal. Even if I knew someone to be a convicted thief, I would be a fool to legally ban them from my neighborhood.

@GillianTriggs I'm not sure that makes sense. It seems to me that lots of refugees are migrants, and lots of migrants are refugees.

@NumbersUSA "It's not the white business owners keeping you down... it's those darn immigrants!"

[InOtterWords @In_Otter_Words]

@NumbersUSA That's very low, when you consider per-capita rates. Immigration to the United States was much larger in the past.

[InOtterWords @In_Otter_Words]

@StrongBordersTX This is an explicit rejection of the idea that we are a nation defined by American values.

[InOtterWords @In_Otter_Words]

@HakHinton Not imported. They came here of their own free will.

[InOtterWords @In_Otter_Words]

@christianbrits I don't think that line of argument is approaching the idea in good faith. Obviously ebikes either have differences with cars, or have perceived differences that would make people less likely to buy them. They can't replace cars in all cases, but in many cases, they can.

@JonFeere @latimes Because "stoop labor" means human beings get paid?

When I see restrictionists argue for decreasing immigration as a means of encouraging more automation, it seems like an implicit admission that the goal is not more citizens working in fields, but rather fewer foreigners.
