If border control let them in, they're not "illegals." (Nor did they illegally overstay a visa, since they were given legal status to stay.)

When things get allegedly autopenned under Biden's administration: THE PRESIDENT'S AUTHORITY IS BEING HIJACKED! When undocumented temporary-employee friends of Trump allies do whatever they want: This is fine.
The original story about not handling criticism well was someone crying after a kind question, not merely saying something was a bridge too far. (FWIW if I saw someone cry once, I would consider it might be a one-off…
Out of curiosity, where did he say that? FWIW I ran the first half through Pangram (truncated to use free credits) and it said 73% AI, evenly interspersed.
And if Amazon disabled it for any reason, would the guest know?
Lol at the thought of Steve Bannon speaking at DEFCON (last link).
Marriage is not, I don't know, "romance-affirming care." That's the difference. It is not considered essential to a young person's identity to be married, while gender-affirming care is.
The "Lindsay Clancy defense", AKA not guilty by reason of insanity, has roots going back thousands of years, and was used as early as 1844 in the US in the murder trial of Abner Rogers, Jr. In 1982, John Hinckley, Jr.…
I can't tell if you're accusing the state of waste and bribes no matter who is at the helm. You did specifically call out socialists, but the anti-socialists aren't improving that situation either. > buying votes with…
Approximately nobody today is a professional walker or firestarter, so those are different. And to the extent they do exist (athletes and survivalists) they might agree there is no "point" except the joy they derive…
The new definition of racist border control includes deporting X00,000 brown people, some of whom had lawful status, and having virtually every one of the 10k refugee admissions be white South African.
This conversation is reminding me of arguments about non-citizens voting, or assaults committed by trans fakers in bathrooms. Both have probably happened, as some weird wealthy dual citizen has probably decided to live…
Both classes of people are American citizens, subject to the same laws and reporting. Why would one be able to hide assets overseas and the other not? If your answer is dual citizenship giving them access to banks…
One of my ideas was a way to fraudulently get most of the benefits of home ownership while hiding it; why wouldn't a rich dishonest Real American do that? Pride? So you think all children of wealthy birth tourists have…
They can do whatever you presume the rich birth tourist does, like deposit in foreign banks, not own US land, obfuscate land ownership through trusts or straw owners.
What kind of welfare? Do you have stats or stories? I'm skeptical someone wealthy would slum it for the peanuts they could get from welfare fraud.
I think birth tourism is an overblown fear, but I suppose their answer is that poor welfare sponges and rich passport collectors are both threats, for different reasons.
FWIW the Road ACT became law anyway without his signature, but yeah if he wanted to demonstrate he cared about such things he would have signed it promptly and proudly.
Feels a bit like saying I can provide lots of free electricity, if someone just gives me some perpetual motion machines. Political viability is as important to building something like this as the laws of physics are.…
I don't think it was a good example to justify the complexity of the app, if it doesn't make sense to put in the app. It's an example of adjacent concerns, so maybe there is something similar that should be in the app,…
The DC tunnel was billed as a hyperloop, so it's not good faith to both excuse him for never intending to build one and also claim it takes time and will eventually succeed.
I see my logical flaw and agree, though I made an adjacent post showing Musk later expressed intent to build a hyperloop in DC and apparently abandoned it.
