I don't know how you put up with the boneheads talking disrespectfully to you like that. It is a disgrace. I can only hope they get unelected soon for acting like that. Good job!
Great job, Alex. I’m a libertarian, but I can’t help wishing your testimony were forced on every tenth grader in America.
The only thing the Republicans had in their quiver was a couple of emotional anecdotes about crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Shame on those ignorant bigots. They aren’t even insisting that criminals be top priority in enforcement efforts.
I read and heartily support your work on this issue.
On small bone to pick: You defended that neither you nor CATO operate via sound bites. Sadly our present world operate via sound bites. So either your or others will package your work as sound bites. It must be, if it is to have wide spread effect.
It is far better for CATO's memeber's create those sound bites and provide them. Sure must also provide the academic work to back them up, and provide nuance to them. Indeed maybe the way you provide the sound bite is you make the sound bite be the title of a paper that supports it. That way anyone trying to take it out of context can be called on it by others, by referencing nuance quotes directly in your paper. e.g. "Yes I believe XXXX, but this does not imply YYYY". or don't forget about ZZZ.
It is important to roll things up into pithy statements where you have carefully weighed each word, and frame it to minimize misunderstanding. Else the sound bites formed by others will be very partisan and will definitely not be something that you would support.
Fight the good fight!
I have debates with Dad, and your stuff provides great evidence within a sea of mis-information. And without your stuff, I generally have NO IDEA at all what the truth is regarding immigration. (And I often don't quite agree with your leanings on this issue, but I never doubt the truth of your data.)

Acting like that is how you get elected.

Well done! You're pretty damn quick on your feet
Excellent. I love the way you fought back, Alex. I'm proud to call you my friend.

Man, a breath of fresh air in a sea of insanity. Thank you.

Chip Roy really does like Colonel Sanders.
Right down to being a headless chicken who thinks you are responsible for the death of a child when it could her neglectful mother.

Alex, amazing defense on your feet. Wow!

Good Lord, Alex. Nice job handling that claptrap.
As Nozick said :
“Is there really someone who, searching for a group of wise and sensitive persons to regulate him for his own good, would choose that group of people that constitute the membership of both houses of Congress?”
Great work. Keep exposing these jackholes for who they are.
