Under the executive order called Protecting the American People Against Invasion, anyone aged 14 or older who stays in the U.S. for more than 30 days will have to register as an “alien.”
Ahhhh. And it will never get better either. I'm just astounded so many people wanted to be back here.
Doesn't apply if you fly in though. Somehow that makes sence right?

Fuck any snowbirds still considering going down into the US.
Head to Mexico and the Caribbean!
I thought that was a species of birds and was very confused.
Same, but if I was a bird that was smart enough to read and understand international laws, I might try my wing at navigating the open expanse of the Atlantic. Get to Europe for some free vet care, knowing it won't cost a beak and a feather to lay my eggs.
It's a common saying in Canada for people who head south for the winter (more commonly to Mexico) - similar to what birds do. I didn't hear the term either before moving to Canada.
FWIW the term was in common use in Vermont when I was growing up, and was used to refer to Vermonters who wintered anywhere in the U.S. south. It was kind of a generic term though and could have referred to Canadians too, and to people with other southern nesting sites outside of the U.S.
Shitbirds driving out snowbirds & other friendly fauna
they might as well go to mexico or south america to spend the winter.
