We invented borders and invented immigration and then invented ways of making immigration illegal and we invented the relationship between crime and immigration. Immigration “enforcement” is literally an hysterical exercise in the pursuit of a fantasy, it is a mental disorder.

"The advent of large language models have made this type of content relatively easy to churn out on demand, and the majority of the review articles we receive are little more than annotated bibliographies, with no substantial discussion of open research issues."
arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.
This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.
Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.
