That was the question I started with, you tried to respond first by pivoting to students and then by pivoting to some thoughts about discharging the Hokum dude's loans would have a better multiplier than helping some rentier (who I assume was my immigrant, though why I don't know).

The immigrant's probably carrying debt that holds him back as well. I didn't propose a cancellation of debt for only non-immigrants. I proposed an across the board cancellation. How did you conclude otherwise?
I didn't pivot to shit. I tried to offer something constructive. Why are immigrants building lives in urban areas while oxy addicts in WV not doing so? That's simple. They're hungry and ambitious. All the more reason to let them come in and improve the country.
But that doesn't speak to the issue that preceded your initial post cited above, which was a discussion of the merits of guaranteed income vs. debt forgiveness.
