Twitter Interactions with Alex Nowrasteh about Immigration

He says, Hypothetical is common method to figure out what somebody actually thinks.

@torankrai Asking hypotheticals is a common method to figure out what somebody actually thinks. My mistake for assuming that.

After I have replied his tweet with a good argument, he replies;

@torankrai Ha, another non response.

Here, He deals with Hypotheticals;

Wikipedia:
In some cases, the hypothetical scenario might be considered impossible in any sense at all. David Chalmers says that we can imagine that there are zombies, or persons who are physically identical to us in every way but who lack consciousness. However, some argue that zombies are inconceivable: we can no more imagine a zombie than we can imagine that 1+1=3. Others have claimed that the conceivability of a scenario may not entail its possibility.
Dealing in Hypotheticals is a Thought Experiment.

@torankrai What if 10,000 US companies each want to hire 1000 peaceful immigrants to work here on their property. Would use you gov to stop?

Here, Alex admits he doesn't want Open borders;

@torankrai I am not advocating for open borders, but if you want to rant about what u think I support go ahead.
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 15, 2013

@torankrai The government should have no power to stop peaceful interactions between willing adult parties across borders.
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 15, 2013

@torankrai That's a non-sequitur.

@torankrai How is hiring an immigrant to do a job, selling him goods, or renting him an apartment an "invasion"?
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 15, 2013

@torankrai It's not national security when the goal is to keep willing workers from willing employers.

@torankrai Tens of thousands of border patrol/immigration agents running check points, inspecting firms, & checking ID isn't Big Gov?
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 15, 2013

Here, he is trying to equal Border Security with Big government;

@torankrai You are avoiding the question. You can say "it is called a NATION!" to justify any Big Government program. It's a non-argument.
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 15, 2013

@torankrai That is not an answer. US had open borders 1790-1882, we were not a nation then?
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 15, 2013

@torankrai First, why should Big Government be deployed to stop peaceful & healthy migrants?
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 15, 2013

@torankrai So? Let them come so long as peaceful & healthy.

The following twitter interactions on May 13, 2013

@torankrai No. How do u explain ~$500 billion in remittances annually? Is there a point to your questions?
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 13, 2013

@torankrai If incomes reverse, you will see mo out migration as you've seen w/ US & Mexico post 2006.
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 13, 2013

@torankrai Because convergence takes a while. As incomes increase in poor nations, migration should increase to a point then diminish.
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 13, 2013

@torankrai Mexico too, is growing at a decent clip.
— Alexander Nowrasteh (@AlexNowrasteh) May 13, 2013

@torankrai Given massive economic growth rates in Africa, India, & China, they might have learned.
