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.

Hmm. What all *could* be done administratively?

Let’s look at amnesty. This is how every open border group does it - they say, “Go to the US and make a bull$h1t amnesty claim”. Then you can be released into the country with your court date in 2031. democrats then throw up their hands and say, “What can you do?” with a wink and a nod.

What are some of these rules? Let’s assume immigration lawyers know the laws:

legalmatch.com - What is immigration amnesty

Typically, granting of amnesty is done on an individual, case by case basis. Most cases of amnesty, however, require that an individual meet certain requirements, including:

Not having a record of criminal charges;
Residing in the U.S. continuously, usually 10-20 years usually; and
Showing that the individual will not be a “charge,” or burden, to the state if granted citizenship.


Hmm. The first one is tricky, and almost impossible to prove. Seems like a DNA sample and fingerprints plus a facial scan is in order, to process against known individuals on DOJ or DHS watch lists. Meantime, the parties can Remain in Mexico.

The last one is easier to deal with. Upon collection of the personal information, create a database and periodically check it against state IDs. When someone is found to be collecting benefits from some state send a notice to said state that funding for X or Y is under review pending the outcome of an investigation for abuse of benefits: in other words, provide the states who want to..get around…the rules an incentive to comply.

But that won’t work, as places like California and others will thumb their noses and or conduct lawfare in response. No problem! Getting them to stop was never the point of the exercise; nahhhhhh…that’s too easy.

The point of the exercise is to figure out who’s who in terms of willingness to consume state resources in support of an open borders policy. Once those states have been identified then *all* migrants apprehended at the border shall be shipped straightaway to these states.
