In fact, Miller mentions automation–as cause of lo-skill job loss–in his intro. Portrayed immig. as double-whammy https://t.co/L69HtQH92N https://t.co/NxRiQ6L1oL

6) @PBump piece good example of the new Vox-like WaPo: Give your side a few arguments that let them stay untroubled and call it a day. https://t.co/kUfuvmwBjU

5) Thrush/Bump seem 2 have bought @JuliaPrestonNow's spin of NAS Report in NYT: https://t.co/IybkD9vC5u In fact showed impact on unskilled https://t.co/T6EyaUhMAk

4) Range of estimates limned here: https://t.co/2UVjwKsVhm Per. Borjas ranges from 3% to 10% wage reduction for every 10% supply increase https://t.co/uFXQROiEue

3) @GlennThrush & @Pbump seem 2 want Miller 2 present a neat Washington Advocacy Statistic — "ie 20% drop!" In fact is range of estimates. https://t.co/NKLphAvrKO

2) Bump says Miller cited "one" study. He cited Borjas' "enormous amounts of research"– see his recent book: https://t.co/uJLiZc4cWE https://t.co/NKLphAvrKO

Somewhat less than excellent piece. 1) Bump agrees immig. worsened $ inequality but says it's not "only" driver. Miller didn't say it was. https://t.co/NKLphAvrKO

Don't understand. You asked for "one or two studies with specific numbers." Miller cited Borjas' Mariel study & others. What's your beef? https://t.co/uZwnBeYQIO

If we're (rightly) worried about wages for unskilled & lowest-paid, makes sense 2 stop importing lo-skill competitors. Import higher-skilled https://t.co/ZPf5jI7To4
