You got that matricular card ... so in a day and age when they have to accept a "woman" with the XY chromosomes, why can't you "identify" as a wetback?

California is in deep trouble, the industries are an effect. Of course, "Sacramento" will again get smacked by The Good Idea Fairy, and lackign adult supervision, will promptly implement such a Good Idea. Causing more industries to close/leave/go galt.
I remember a couple years ago, when the press releases were about the increasing rate of 'large' companies announcing their departure from the California employment scene (by closing or moving). Haven't heard much in the last couple years, is that because there aren't any large companies left to require press releases when they leave, or are those incidents now "misreports"?
