I don't think we are obliged to take people of any opinion who have this sort of relationship to empirics seriously. It's just that simple, Yglesias is a troll and we shouldn't take anything he says seriously.
matt & co’s theory of how public opinion on immigration would respond to new information was simply empirically wrong.
at this point the only reasonable conclusion is they refuse to update their priors w/ new data because the data is inconvenient for them
