I doubt that Jimbo would've been deported from an annexed Massachusetts, though, to another US state, after Massachusetts seceded (assuming that Massachusetts or New England is now a Canadian province in the QCverse) - annexation changes things as far as permission to be in the country.
In any case, another factor to consider that could partially explain things with May: She isn't even a humanoid AI. She identifies as a fighter jet, not a humanoid, and likely deeply resents having to spend considerable effort just to keep her humanoid chassis functioning for her survival.
Is it cold in here?:
There is a legal contract between the organic and the AI for a companionship gig, but Momo said the contract usually winds up superfluous as a genuine friendship develops.
Either party can close out the contract at any time (I think that's what Jeph said). It would be a major event if anyone had, and probably would have been mentioned in the strip. I figure Momo and WInslow are legally and practically companions still even as the relationships have grown and changed.

--- Quote from: oeoek on 15 Aug 2017, 06:04 ---I am probably reading too much into it, but Momo's light hesitation (W-well, I have got to get back to work) suggest mixed feelings at this point. Remember Winslow's despair when he came across her former empty shell? It spoke some of more than just casual concern. Is momo aware of that?
--- End quote ---
Momo is a nice person, but I'm pretty certain the only reason she ever hung out with Winslow and Pintsize was because they were the same size and lived in the same building and there simply wasn't anyone else she could socialise with as an equal. And when you have a headful of social protocols, you need to use them on someone. But her horizons have broadened immensely as a result of her new body, such that even now that Winslow has caught up, she has already left him far behind. It's like the guy you hung out with in school because nobody else would play with you suddenly moving in next door and expecting to pick up where you left off.
Reaver:
I just don't get how everyone can see Winslow's "Hi May! I got a body to be just like you and Miss Bubbles and Momo!" as him rubbing his body in their face (Archer moment: Um phrasing)
He's not coming to see his friends to show off, or brag about his body, he's coming over to see them and basically going "Look we're the same now!" It's someone who's been in a tiny body, that gets little to no attention (save for bullying from Pintsize) trying to match his peers, and getting called a spoiled brat with a new toy, because his person could afford to get him something nice.
I understand that May is bitter, but she's got a home, and a job (even if she hates it) and has been given a LOT of tolerance and love from people despite her really offputting and mean personality, being hostile to Winslow over his new body is just unnecessary and not "justified" in the slightest.
BenRG:
@Reaver,
It isn't what us or any other objective third-party observer might think. What you need to do is climb into May's head and see things from her perspective. You will never understand her behaviour until then.
