Richard Green, bogus semantics

Richard Green: My colleague Alice Chen, along with Emily Oster and Heidi Williams, have a new paper that explains differences in the infant mortality rate in the United States and other OECD countries. Despite its affluence, the US ranks 51st in the world in infant mortality, which puts it at the same level as Croatia.

Where is Richard Green from?
Richard Green is a professor in the Sol Price School of Public Policy and the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.
Now is Richard Green completely unaware the California and Mexico are practically a federation and 'our babies' includes Mexico?   We just fixed the ID laws in California to include simple residency as a condition for citizenship. We just had an election in which Nancy declared our Southern border null and void, and she actually declared a federation  with Central America.  Jerry has all but declared California independent during the election. Our legislature is actively rewriting laws to include dual citizenship between Mexico and California.  We practically live in a political environment where federal laws are null and void.
Yet Richard Green still decides to limit his statistics to the federal political boundaries, set in DC, some swampland 3,000 miles to the east. That is fraud.

I happen to agree with California secession and uniting with Mexico, by the way.  I went out of my way to support any idea the California can adapt to the federal system, but voters decided on the Mexican path. Was I angry? For about five minutes, but aggregate statistics  rule and the path toward independence  makes the better sense. If Richard Green is unhappy, then he should renounce his California citizenship and go live in the USA.

Profesores de California se olvidan de que California está ahora unido con México.
