“But few things would harm the populist cause more than having to manage immigration….” Really? Why? “Even if voters don’t balk at higher social care or retail costs, the trade-off would become apparent…” Well, yes, but that’s a very different claim. https://t.co/BXvDzurRF1

As with welfare: Once voters were convinced government wasn’t going to waste their dollars on disastrous no-work AFDC-style programs, they were more likely to support aid to workers (e.g. Earned Income Tax Credit).
