Throw open the doors and it won't be a crisis, it's only a crisis if you don't want them here. https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1358057204075626503
We do not have "an orderly process controlled in the national interest by the national sovereign". We have an overly restrictive system that implements historically formal racist criteria through visa restrictions on national origin. https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1358058958032932864?s=20
I go through the history here, it's a very straightforward proposition. https://twitter.com/tznkai/status/1356998319445262336
Also the Europeans are more racist than we are, fuck 'em.
Extremely true! I think immigrants are approximately as sensitive to housing prices everyone else is and the preferred policy should be to let people live places. https://twitter.com/AlanMCole/status/1358062588513443845?s=20
Internal migration is still migration, NIMBYism is anti-immigration policy on a local scale, and the United States is the world's most successful open-borders pact in the history of mankind.
What part did you disagree with David? Was it the part of immigrants being good for the economy? A more efficient path to citizenship? Cultural diversity? Or being productive instead of whining?
This is a safe space for pedantry Alan, please specify. https://twitter.com/AlanMCole/status/1358065346108936201?s=20

This little fascism as a treat argument only works if you can deliver the goods - get the votes that stop the full fascism.
And David has never been able to deliver.

Right?! Canada arguably handles it better but actually they're pretty racist too!
(in part because of people like David, who racist himself or otherwise, helps the racists out when he can) https://twitter.com/PropterMalone/status/1358067685213560835?s=20

I've been radicalized on immigration politics because those the racists, the reflexively conservative, and a whole bunch of other people who are mostly decent decided it was either good or acceptable to elect Donald Trump President.

Half a loaf is always better than none, and that applies equally to giving away half the loaf and them seizing the other half.
This is a they'll like us when we win situation.

It's utterly insane to me that we have paid government officials whose literal job is to try to prove people should be kicked out of the country. We shouldn't treat migrants as a crime problem!
Yep, we need some sort of name for this commitment to individual liberty. Libertarianism? Neoliberalism?
Wait wait, how about "liberal"? https://twitter.com/nbeaudrot/status/1358080621982064642?s=19

I don't know if I believe this to the full extent but it's a real concern. https://twitter.com/nbeaudrot/status/1358083478038827010?s=19
