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.

You sound so sensible.

Unfortunately, your party is controlled by Leftist Radicals who are not sensible at all.

They encourage illegal immigrants and other people to physically attack and impede ICE officers.

The blue Democrat states and cities outright flout federal law and indicate disrespect for federal immigration law and any notion of "compromise."

It is reasonable to assume that if the Republicans agree to a "compromise," that will just signal to your radical Left party that their tactics are working. It will signal weakness, and will encourage even more illegal immigration and defiance of immigration law.

You are trying to be "logical" but completely ignoring what is actually going on, as well as human nature, and how people respond to incentives.

Your party WANTS to flood the nation with millions upon millions of illegal aliens. That is their objective--not to achieve a reasonable "compromise."

If you mean what you say--you are in favor of a reasonable compromise to change the immigration laws--then you must first acknowledge your party's blatant breaking of the existing laws, and you must first accept that whatever "compromise" might be achieved, your party must first show that they will be willing to accept that compromise.

They are not willing to accept the laws currently in force, but if they are acting at all in good faith, they must first do so.

They will not.

This is why your party makes common cause with Hamas. Same tactics, same end goals.
