Sacramento has that too, thanks to (for years anyway) one flight to Mexico. A local newspaper columnist used to call it Sacramento Intergalactic Airport.

JD thinks you can tell people’s legal status by looking at them. Funny how ICE seems to think the same thing.

Note: legal status should not impact care provided.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

I experienced the reverse while being an extra for "Bull Durham." We had to pretend it was summer, take off our jackets and stuff them under the seats every time they turned the cameras on.

It’s just very 90s thinking. We have recent evidence from red state ballot boxes that pro-choice positions are the majority. Picking pro-life as your suggestion is a remnant of what people thought before this was ever put to a vote.

I’m glad they didn’t if they were going to support Trump, but unfortunately I don’t think there is a lot of evidence to suggest that higher turnout would have helped.

9000 respondents is quite a good sample size. Also, the result aligned with the trend of R voter registration increasing for years.
