Why not challenge the person by contributing a source which gives an opposing opinion, explain what that opinion is in simple words, then say something like "I feel this and this better reflects the reality of immigration".

By insulting someone during a debate, all you do is cause them to become defensive, and simply start ignoring any points you are trying to make, thus preventing your argument from seeing the light of day. It becomes a issue of "Legs vs the world" rather than discussing why argument b is better than argument a, in your opinion.
