  • “aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law.”

    From a Supreme Court decision in 1952, even undocumented immigrants are subject to the due process clauzes of the Constitution: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/usrep/usrep345/usrep345206/usrep345206.pdf

    Per Evenwel v. Abbott (2016), even those who cannot vote have a say in policy “Nonvoters have an important stake in many policy debates and in receiving constituent services. By ensuring that each representative is subject to requests and suggestions from the same number of constituents, total-population apportionment promotes equitable and effective representation.”

    Undocumented immigrants are also counted im the census, and thus are represented in Congress and the Electoral College. And since they are represented in congress, they are constituents of their congresspeople just the same as citizens or documented immigrants.

    A quarter cup of olive oil is 4 table spoons, or about 2 oz. My mom puts that on her salads in a vinegarette dressing. People fry onions in more than that. People definitely consume that much regularly.

    “Drinking cups of olive oil isn’t good” This isnt cups of olive oil. This is a few tablespoons.

    Do you have any sources regarding any health benefits of olive oil vs no oils? Because i haven’t seen any that support your notion that there are benefits to including oil vs not includong it. I’d agree that replacing other, less healthy fats with oils could be good, but in my experience, that’s not what people do when they hear oil is healthy for you. Anecdotally, they just add more empty calories in oil to their diets, instead of replacing any.

    Oils are high in calories and have next to zero micronutrients. They are refined macronutrients the same as sugar.

    Health outcome data also shows better health for no-oil plant based diets, vs the same diets with as little as a quarter cup of olive oil a day.
