Austin Powers would have been cryogenically frozen during Thatcher's rise to political prominence. It's conceivable he may have heard about her when she was a lower level English politician, but she assuredly wouldn't be the first person he would think of when imagining unattractive women to suppress his erection. Don't apply logic and reason to Austin Powers. But if you listen to Mike Myers talk about the movies he made, he speaks about how much he thought about every joke. Like in Wayne's World's Bohemian Rhapsody scene, the studio executives wanted him to put a Guns N' Roses song in instead, but he fought for the song he felt made the joke work. It's weird that a seemingly smart writer who cares deeply about minute details of jokes would let such an obvious anachronism through. --- https://imgur.com/hso8CUi <cite>CW_McGraw posted [p:903858401] in Why are pe...

LMAO, that's a good one No, it's about the votes: https://www.census.gov/population/apportionment/about/faq.html#Q16 Are undocumented residents (aliens) in the 50 states included in the apportionment population counts? Yes, all people (citizens and noncitizens) with a usual residence in the 50 states are to be included in the census and thus in the apportionment counts. Basically, illegal immigrants are included in the population counts that help determine a states electoral votes. Makes a huge difference in a state like California, which gets the most electoral votes of any state in the country (55) and also happens to have the highest percentage of the country's illegal population (25%). With ~2.6 million illegal aliens (making up ~7% of the state's population), they get enough extra electoral votes to negate entire states. ^Population stats taken from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States <cite>Vertania posted [p:903916648] in Why are pe...

Yes, all people (citizens and noncitizens) with a usual residence in the 50 states are to be included in the census and thus in the apportionment counts.</quote>Basically, illegal immigrants are included in the population counts that help determine a states electoral votes.

Politicians probably want to import more Democrats. https://cis.org/Report/Welfare-Use-Immigrant-and-Native-Households#refugees Welfare use varies among immigrant groups. Households headed by immigrants from Central America and Mexico (73 percent), the Caribbean (51 percent), and Africa (48 percent) have the highest overall welfare use. Those from East Asia (32 percent), Europe (26 percent), and South Asia (17 percent) have the lowest. The height of democratic integrity: buying votes with other people's money. Or maybe, just maybe, its primarily an altruistic drive instead of some sneaky underhanded conspiracy.
