The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

saying that most of the ones who have not committed subsequent crimes after entry should be deported.

There are more now who came here legally, committed no crime, have a valid visa, yet were pulled off the street by masked ICE agents, thrown into an unmarked car and disappeared. Only through subsequent searches by family and attorneys was one woman abducted in Boston- finally found in a Louisianna prison.

Her crime? She was a PhD student at Tufts who wrote an article in her student newspaper, advocating for Palestinian rights in Gaza. She never even mentioned Hamas in the paper, yet was branded a Hamas terrorist sympathizer.

No crime. Only a “thought crime”.

Today I was reading about a Russian national- also here on a valid student visa. She’s being deported back to Russia, which will probably be bad for her as she is on record for criticizing Putin.

That’s just two. There are more. But it’s late and I need to get to bed. Preaching engagement in the morning at a little church a couple of towns over.
