Everything I have said is in relation to the FAIR "study" ONLY, and why it is flawed.

I'm respectfully withdrawing myself from this exercise in futility. I wish you and Richard continued success fighting windmills.
Ah, well then you must think something else if somehow your views are different than your criticism of FAIR for including taxpayer costs for anchor babies as a cost of illegal immigration.

There is something heroic though about fighting windmills or even great white whales against overwhelming odds when they are thought to be the repository of evil. I watched about 20 minutes of last night's Democratic debate, all I could take, and it seemed to be a contest of which candidates could give away the most free stuff. Every program, we are to believe, was going to be paid for somehow by the top 1/10 of the 1%. That'e even more ambitious than Woodrow Wilson's income tax that would only tax the top 4%. At least Wilson abided by the 10th. Amendment by creating the 16th. Amendment to allow a new form of taxation [[on the rich).

The threat of Democratic socialism free stuff promises is more real than windmills and great white whales. I'm moderate so I am optimistic that the on stage economic clowns' narrative will play out more like Eva Peron's Argentina than Chavez' Venezuela. I do agree with you that Democrats have a corporate media fanned tailwind and will likely win in 2020. The only hope I have is that some people are afraid to or refuse to answer polls honestly like in 2016. I haven't been polled but have a Democratic friend who gave some money to a candidate and since then says he must be on list and gets polled frequently. It isn't enough to offset other reasons to believe we we won't have a blue wave. I'm not given to going off with the sheep, baaa, just because everyone else is doing so and I might consequently seem quixotic. That's ok.
