Ok I left the NHPR thing to get over to the LOB for my committee's final executive session of this year's crossover; we've got 2 bills left, so this might be a short thread. Although, one of them is controversial (SB132, the anti-sanctuary one), so, who knows... #NHPoliticsPermalink On twitter.com

Rep. Lascelles supports the amendment; he mentions about the media bringing immigration to the forefront of people's minds, which reminds me of when he had Fox News blaring in the background when we were on Zoom meetings in 2021, and was mourning Rush Limbaugh's deathPermalink On twitter.com

Rep. Sellers signaled support for the bill, which confirms my suspicion that his substitution for Rep. Guthrie is probably giving the anti-sanctuary side an extra vote, as Rep. Guthrie is a "local control" type Republican who wouldn't like being restricted as a selectpersonPermalink On twitter.com

IMO the term "illegals" should only be used to refer to people when it means adherents to the philosophy of illegalism, such as the Bonnot Gang: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IllegalismPermalink On twitter.com
