"Most U.S. states? unauthorized immigrant populations stayed steady
from 2019 to 2022. However, six states showed significant growth:
    Florida (+400,000)
    Texas (+85,000)
    New York (+70,000)
    New Jersey (+55,000)
    Massachusetts (+50,000)
    Maryland (+40,000)
California (-120,000) is the only state whose unauthorized immigrant
population decreased."

And I'll bet you believe that.

I don't gamble.  Ask someone else to take your bet.

That's nearly as bad as your quoting a "research" paper that says that aspirin as blood thinners doesn't work.

Aspirin works, if you don't mind dealing with the resultant intestinal
bleeding.

But statins that do nothing but thin the blood do.

Statins are for reducing cholesterol, not thinning blood.  I've taken
Lovostatin, Simvastatin and Atorvistatin.  All of them lowered my LDL
("bad" cholesterol) and all of them resulted in undesirable side
effects.  In my case, it was chronic back muscle pains.  It took me
about 18 months for the back pains to finally disappear.  My
cardiologist switched me to Ezetimibe (generic for Zetia) 10 mg.  LDL
went down, no more back aches, but at a higher cost.

Since you have no real knowledge of your own you are forced to rely on sources you know nothing about.

That's true.  I don't manufacture knowledge and amazing facts and
prefer to rely on recognized authorities and peer reviewed studies.
Both have their limitations, but both are also better than your
fabricated "facts".

Aspirin is not a blood thinner but an antiplatelet medication. It reduces the blood cells from sticking together and forming clots.

That is correct and I'm impressed.  However, I've never claimed that
aspirin was a blood thinner.

Incidentally, aspirin and alcohol is a bad idea:
<https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/in-depth/daily-aspirin-therapy/art-20046797>
"Drinking alcohol while on daily aspirin therapy may increase the risk
of stomach bleeding."

In my case it helps prevent further strokes.

As I recall, the research showed that statins reduce the chances of a
2nd stroke or heart attack.  I'll dig out the research papers if you
promise to read them.

In heart patients it prevents clotting in the Vena Cava where blood velocity is the lowest.

Aspirin doesn't prevent anything.  It reduces the probability of
forming blood clots in the heart (coronary thrombosis) or arteries
(arterial thrombosis).  These clots can later break loose, become
lodged in the heart or brain, and produce a heart attack or stroke.
Incidentally, I'm scheduled for a Transthoracic Echo W Doppler in late
August to look for exactly this problem.
