It’s not just congressional representation. School districts get money based on how many students they have and average daily attendance. In a school district like Santa Ana, CA if all the illegals were removed the district would have to do some serious belt tightening.
Am sure also that cities get block grants from the feds based on their population.
There are probably more ways than could be counted that local, county, and state government agencies profit from the presence of illegals.
And then you have the mayor of Los Angeles blathering on about how much of her city’s workforce are foreigners, legal and otherwise, seemingly bragging about it. Not even a hint of self awareness of the fact that a large part of the reason many people think Los Angeles is a s**thole is due to it having become, in effect, just another poor Mexican or Central American city.

Bob, minimally speaking, it wouldn’t hurt (for anyone, actually) to take a Quercetin capsule once or so daily and supplement your zinc levels if you think they’re low, though one generally gets enough of the latter from a decent diet.
If you’ve had one or several of the shots/boosters—this wasn’t clear to me—and/or you think you may be suffering from long Covid, you might want to consider Ivermectin, the suppression of which by Fauci & Co. is one of the great crimes of this whole sordid saga—right up there with the whole series of coverups, in fact.
And then there’s vitamin D to supplement, if needed (though not to exaggerate).
Best see a physician who knows about these things and is NOT still shackled by the absurd but still far too influential narrative…
Good luck!
@neo:Yes, it’s clematis.
I don’t know flowers, and I had thought at first that was some kind of bindweed, so I had really wanted to take some RoundUp to it. But it had eight petals and not five, so I looked it up. Some kinds of clematis are somewhat invasive in some places but nothing like the bindweed / morning glories.
One of the major mysteries in ancient Roman history has been the fate of the famous Ninth Legion, Hispania–a very battle hardened and experienced legion which had been assigned to a number of hot spots, and had successfully engaged in some of the toughest fighting in the Roman world.
It was last stationed in England, in York, and, apparently, sometime between 108 and 120 A.D., it just marched off and disappeared–no mention of them ever again, the legion stuck from the usual list of legions, no monuments were erected to it’s existence and record and, thereafter, the Ninth Legion was never again mentioned by the Emperor, or in the Senate.
Over the centuries all sorts of theories have been proposed as to the Legion’s fate.
In 2024 an overhead survey found what has pretty certainly turned out to be the site of the legion’s last stand in Scotland (many thousands of the the remains of people killed in battle, and among many other indicative findings they’ve also excavated a legionnaire’s ring with the Ninth’s bull insignia at the site).
Excavations are still underway, and parallel research has also been conducted in various archives—records reexamined, including some new clues in documents and histories in the Vatican Library, which had previously been closed to researchers.
Given the archeological and documentary evidence found so far, the current theory is that the Emperor and/or the Senate feared that the Ninth Legion—many of whose members were apparently seen as conservative “traditionalists,” some who had also married into Scottish families—and were apparently feared to have “gone native,” thus, the Ninth was no longer seen as reliably 100% Roman in outlook or allegiance.
In other words, the Ninth had become dangerous.
Thus, the Ninth was ordered out into Scotland, into “Indian country,” and it was deliberately left there, surrounded by apparently overwhelming hostile native forces.
Without any of the reinforcements or supplies they requested (an excavated wax tablet attested to this dire situation)—the soldiers of the Ninth were eventually overwhelmed and slaughtered by the barbarians; problem eliminated.*
An elite unit of scientists working for the Defense Intelligence Agency concluded three months after the pandemic began that COVID-19 likely was genetically manufactured and escaped a Chinese lab rather than evolving in nature as Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed, a bombshell revelation now at the heart of ongoing investigations into a possible U.S. intelligence cover-up….
… The study – using complex genome analysis – also traced the process used for creating the new virus to an earlier manuscript that the Wuhan Institute of Virology published a decade prior….
…The long-hidden study was only recently released under the Freedom of Information Act by U.S. intelligence agencies, a bombshell now at the center of ongoing investigations.…
