In 1907, the Expatriation Act required that any American woman who married a foreigner would take on her husband's nationality, losing her U.S. citizenship.

Are we sure they sampled at all? I think this was a raw poll. That matters because, methodologically, we would expect severe drop offs in response rate compared to the poll the Teamsters had shortly before (when Biden was presumed nominee, which Biden won handily)

The dirtiest pool here might be O'Brien releasing the Teamsters poll without explaining what the sample size was. Unions representing half of all members have just endorsed Harris, but the Trump campaign is waving around the poll to say that 60% of Teamsters support him.

He spent the next few days attacking us personally in the national press and on his blog. Smearing us with imagined conspiracy theories. Declaring that nothing we said should be believed. www.nationalreview.com/corner/immig...

For an example of the exact opposite of integrity and scientific ethics, see how the same Borjas—comment author who is being treated ethically above—reacted when my co-author and I revealed a flaw of equal magnitude in a paper of his.

I can’t overstate this: every shelter worker has seen migrants arrive with these sellos. The Chiapas state government is aware but has taken no action. And migrants from outside the region have zero idea of the risk of kidnapping, till it happens (Some migrants get wristbands instead of sellos.)

Tapachula dispatch #5: Migrant kidnapping btwn Guatemala border & Tapachula is pervasive. Migrants get marked w/ a “sello” (seal/stamp) when they pay the ransom — a rooster, anchor, eagle, etc. One shelter worker tells me 80% of migrants passing through Suchiate or Cd Hidalgo are kidnapped

Or to put it another way — theorists take for granted that the current characteristics of (national) borders we see are natural and inherent to any border

It’s ok, I always assumed that this was a joke gift, like when I made you an 8-foot tall cardboard model of the Sutro Tower
