The Cato Institute continues to beclown themselves with their increasingly ridiculous arguments for mass immigration.

Can't wait for all the hue and cry about how you can't call them "legal immigrants" just because they were here legally. It's a funny game these people play. They accuse us of not caring about the difference between legal and illegal, but they're the ones who couldn't care less. 4.2K views · 132 likes · 25 reposts · 21 replies Open on X →
Many nativists are right-wing Marxists. There is no sense in which the land of the USA is owned collectively by the government.

The difference is that many people's (possibly even most people's) stated objection to immigration is to ILLEGAL immigration. They aren't arguing against immigrants per se. It's not like drugs. On its face, it's an argument against illegality only, not immigrants on their own. 3.2K views · 24 likes · 3 reposts · 23 replies Open on X →
@David_J_Bier This country is the collective property of its citizens. That’s why there’s such a thing as unlawful entry and unlawful presence. If you want to be an anarchist you can put on black bloc and join Antifa. 6.8K views · 298 likes · 6 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

@David_J_Bier This has to be the dumbest argument you peddle. “Increasing population numbers reduces your individual likelihood of becoming a victim.” People aren’t worried about crime rates they fear criminals. And they should. 1.2K views · 142 likes · 1 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
and the RATE is all that matters since that's what determines your likelihood of being a victim. 5.8K views · 97 likes · 2 reposts · 48 replies Open on X →
@David_J_Bier Reagan was an awful president who turned California into a permanent Democrat supermajority through amnesty. His actions accelerated the mass replacement of Americans. Also, we’re not conservatives. The days of selling out Americans for a 0.01% GDP increase are 2.8K views · 202 likes · 10 reposts · 20 replies Open on X →
