How does a 20 year old kid get top secret government clearance?

When I was 19 I did some contract IT work at a military base and had too get top secret clearance. I had to sign a bunch of NDA's also. I don't recall seeing anything, but the chance was there.

If I recall, New York voters were all for "sanctuary", as long as it was Texas providing the sanctuary.

Anything to back up that statement or is that just conjecture?

Edit: and I will add this. If there is evidence that a state is voting for sanctuary, but does not provide it or deems other states to require the same, even though said state may not want it… I would say that's pretty effed up of New York.

From a quick Google search, sanctuary status seems to be either from executive order or thru legislative action, voters haven't been involved.

Voting could be interchanged with mandating. Wording does matter. That's on me. If it is done through legislation, I'm assuming that is through some sort of vote.

Spent several hours cleaning up storm damage. Two more days and a couple of trailer loads of branches should do it. Still have a truck load of firewood to split.

New York City can’t use an unconstitutional, two-century-old “anti-pauper” law to block the state of Texas from offering migrants free bus rides to the city from the southern border, a state judge has ruled.

Im not that great with geography but isn't Mexico closer to Texas than New York? Last time I checked it was but I wasn't sure if Texas had moved. Seems like a smarter and probably (if Texas didn't move) cheaper option to give free bus rides south than north.

Seems like a great idea but a state, (instead of the feds) deporting illegals from the country would trigger a whole lot of extra conflict. There are probably prohibitions against it already. But I like the idea.

A great feeling, isn't it Edward?

I'm rooting for the plane and/or the clogged artery.

@VegasFrank I'm super surprised you didn’t say bullet 🤐🫣

I don't want to be put on a watch list but I wouldn't be heartbroken. Also anything that happened in pulp fiction would be acceptable.

Lol...
