TIL that Elon Musk was an illegal immigrant

Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate

This study offers one logical conclusion: if you want a safer country, deport native-born Texans.

I had the same conversation today with a family member about abortion.

"Okay. You've known a lot of women in your life. Who is getting an abortion at nine months?"

Followed later by "If someone is getting an 'abortion' at nine months, it's because someone is dying. Either the mother is dying or the baby has encephalitis and is going to die painfully. Nobody is going through mine months of pregnancy only to then get an abortion.

I also dropped the idea that these laws are allowing rapists to choose the mother of their children. Not all states have exceptions, and often the ones that do require a conviction of rape. Do you know how difficult a conviction of rape is? First, it's a difficult crime to prove. Second, pleading down to sexual assault means it's no longer rape. You know who I primarily want making that decision? The girl can ultimately decide what happened and what she wants to do about it no police involved.

This discussion is all about whether you want cops showing up to arrest doctors and recently pregnant women who may or may not have wanted to be pregnant.

While not common, I unfortunately have some anecdotal evidence to the contrary: I was an illegal* in Texas for a month, and i ate quite a few babies* while there. Not only that, but I was the wrong* skin color too.

*: I was there as part of my job, on a tourist visa, which does allow for meetings and such. However, there were some last minute changes to the plan that involved some "proper" work that was originally scheduled for a different trip. Big nono.

*: Despite my dislike for chicken, I ate quite a few at company dinners.

*: I contracted a pretty bad sunburn while there.

These fascist-wannabe fucktards probably would make some impressive contortionist performances while bending over backwards to explain how I'm not the type of immigrant they're scared of.

Oh, and for the "they're bringing diseases". Yup. I've had COVID twice. Both times contracted during business trips to the US. I had to quarantine before going "BaCk To WhErE i CaMe FrOm"
