I don't think these are for migrants.

Not surprisingly, it’s in a deep red district, currently represented by Mike Collins, author of the Laken Riley bill. Not that hypocrisy is a smoking gun these days, but those migrants are going to be counted in the census. Thus, this is a way for Republicans to use Migrants to pad their count for the House of Representatives/electoral college.

Using people in bondage to pad your numbers when allocating representatives.

History truly does repeat itself.

That won't work until the next census, right? I don't think representatives are allocated based on a live running tally of the population.

Yea, wouldn't take effect until 2030.

I am sure President Gavin Newsome will dismantle the camps as soon as he takes office /s

Newsome loves dismantling camps but not those kinds

if somebody is on trial for burning down one of these things before they put anybody in them, remember you're just not convinced by the evidence.

In the context of the flood of lies I know it's a very minor detail - still the disability symbols trigger a special kind of rage in me.
