This is the article I recommend that everyone read. George Borjas is great because he's a Harvard economist, and his takes are pretty nuanced. He's not really "anti" immigration, however, what he says generally favors restrictions.

This article in particular is written in very simple language and is a good introduction.

https://gborjas.org

This is his blog, which has some more advanced writting on it. A lot of it is still pretty easy to understand, though.

@Nemets so the dotted line means non human? How come it comes from the "human" bubble though?

https://gborjas.org/2016/09/21/a-users-guide-to-the-2016-nas-immigration-report/

This is a pretty good guide to the 2016 NAS report on immigration. He explains the implications of the report so you don't have to read the whole thing yourself, and, if you get into an argument, you can just cite the report.

For immigration’s economics, read George Borjas. For immigration’s cultural impacts, read Robert Putnam. For immigration’s history, read Peter Brimelow. For current immigration politics, read Daniel Horowitz. For left wing criticism of immigration, read Jefferson Cowie and Angela Nagle.

That should fully cover you in the issue. Feel free to message me for more.

Jacob recommended him too

Liberals don't like Borjas because he's an "outlier" when it comes to economists, however, he has good explanations for why the other economists are wrong, so you can pretty easily shut down that argument.

@Nemets I would have thought it was the Khoi who would have that profile. In older schemes they were considered the most archaic humans and I think wiki still says that

@MPI - VA Putnam is good to read, however, it's important to be prepared for when liberals try to say that "that's just one study" or whatever

Bantus are the biggest movers in SA though so maybe it doesn't matter that they aren't human if they are pushing out Khoi and Whites. Truly Bantus are the superior lifeform.

The replication rates for Putnam's work aren't perfect, however, (1) there is much more research showing negative than positive effects of diversity, and (2) the studies that don't replicate his conclusion have shitty methodologies, like using kitchen sink regressions

@Jacob plenty of other good diversity and trust studies out there. See Koopmans and Veit study out of Germany, or James Lawrence and Lee Bentley’s study in the European sociological review from a couple years ago. Or Delhey and Newton in the same publication but it’s a bit older

This is a pretty good list, however, I'm working on a better one. Stay tuned.

Full disclosure, though, mine is going to take a while to come out

I love it when chat gets big brained

My autism is so satisfied right now

@MPI - VA My favorite study on diversity is the one that cherry picked a non random sample of countries and concluded that diversity actually increases social cohesion after controlling for a bunch of variables

Lol

Basically all the "immigration = good" studies are hilariously bad if you actually read them

The Robert Putnam study has been replicated a number of times. The most consistent result was that Robert Putnam was right. Th second most consistent result was that, once you controlled for Hispanic and Africans, diversity had no effect.

TFW you realize destroying gender relations is a double-edged sword. (Couldn't archive it due to Bloomberg blocking archival requests.)

@Gimlet Based Mike Pence style business

@SeanVV lol that's not true

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Right?

I’m a big fan of the “akshually immigrants are innovators” studies that don’t adjust for race. Like 90% of the current immigrant CEOs are Asians and the 20th century ones were Jews. Latinos are drastically underrepresented among immigrant entrepreneurs

I suggest all men have an audio recorder app on their phone if they work with liberal women.

I don't think I've ever seen a study saying that Asian diversity has no effect @SeanVV

Gotta be careful with that, but not a bad idea.

Asians actually block vote Democrat worse than Hispanics.

obviously follow all your state laws concerning recording

@MPI - VA I actually wrote an article refuting that without bringing up race

let me find it

Asian voting is weird as fuck cause turnout is low. They went slightly GOP in 2010 but yeah on average they vote left of Latinos. Ever been to an Ivy League campus? Asians are heading all the left wing groups now. But they’re BASED allies /s

Sheesh pakis are left of blacks

Asians aren't Republican. They just like Money so it seemed that way to the small brained.

Based Vietcong

Blacks > Asians > Hispanics

I'll bet the Vietnamese vote that way because they all live in Texas for some reason.

I feel like every day there’s a new thought piece from some left wing south Asian girl with an unpronounceable name clogging up my news feed now. The phenomenon of young Indian/Pakistani/even East Asian women going far left (eg Sarah jeong) has been exploding

Also Vietnam is ex commie. Cuba effect
