I had this coworker. She was kind of dumb but I didn’t realize how dumb she was.

She kept asking why are people talking about some people from Mexico being here supposedly illegally and they might be deported. We tried to explained that some people believe that if you live in a country illegally you need to leave.

She kept asking how come no one argues about deporting people from Ohio or Indiana. Again people tried to explain to her that these are US states.

So long story short she thought Mexico (not New Mexico) is US state. So she could never understand what’s this talk about immigration or being illegal. When asked how many states there are in the US, she knew it as 50. But she couldn’t name them all. So she thought Mexico was one of them. She was born in the US. Went to college. Obscure one you can get into with D-. But still
