He's really not stupid, he just says a lot of disagreeable things

To you, that is

cognitive dissonance leads to a rationalization. Your rationalization was "I'm just biased"

He's not stupid

that's cog dis

I'll take that back

like, textbook

Oh

He's just wrong

on many accounts

So he's not stupid....but he's stupid enough to be wrong a lot?

that doesn't seem to make sense

Wrong in what way?

On issues of immigration

saying someone is wrong or stupid doesnt mean anything. Give examples

late af here

good talk tho yall

night

if im not welcome fine

you're good dude done take it personal

He's portrays immigration as bad for us economically

dont*

which is just false

I can understand maybe a cultural argument

Immigration from where and in what quantities though? To say all immigration is bad economically every time is obviously a rocky case to make but I'd imagine arguing that dirt poor immigrants who can also barely speak a word of the language contribute substantially to the economy would be a difficult proposal to make too

ill leave yall with an article that sort of shows the foundations of all this. Just how much we don't understand reality around us. Check it out if you want to. Just sort of a reference so yall know I'm not making this ish up lol

anyway, night

Night lad

Immigration has shown not to reduce wage levels for natives in any significant manner because there's much more important determinants. If you were to have a bunch of disabled immigrants coming to the U.S. then you would have case because then they would just be a drain but the amount that is coming to the U.S. isn't an economic problem

for example at some point there were tens of thousands of Cuban refugees who went to Florida in the course of one night and researches studied the impacts on wage and found no significant change

No significant change in the wages overall or in the fields that they were employed in? Because obviously 10,000 refugees arent going to be competing for too many higher paying white collar jobs. Also was there any sort of labor shortage in Florida at that time? I'm not arguing that they were a drain but its things to consider
