I got to wondering what such arguments might look like and would they work? Turns out they do. https://t.co/EJMgGR2rZw

A short, relatable message about a migrant worker boosted positivity toward EU immigration by 20 points among UK voters.

The latest @CambPsych research suggests that pro-immigration arguments can be effective for the UK electorate 👇

Why is pro-immigration politics so rare even when public attitudes are positive? My new @BJPolS shows anti-immigration voters always care more about the issue. This creates a political advantage for anti-immigration causes anytime migration is in the news https://t.co/wtK6XboSXU

This line is so memorable for a reason.

It's a perfect use of "antimetabole" - the repetition of a phrase with its word order reversed.
