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.

...at the border, per US law. Because if they did, and it came out that they were letting in criminals they'd have to do something about it.

But if they never knew? Oh, well!

“Americans are dead and these deaths were preventable,” according to Homeland Security whistleblower Fred Wynn.

Wynn blames the “prolonged, willful failure (of CBP) to comply” with the federal DNA collection law for illegal entries.

“I believe that to be statistically verifiable.”


And even better: BREAKING: Leaked government memo confirms whistleblowers were targeted by Border Agency after exposing federal DNA Collection law was not followed for immigration violations

Homeland Security whistleblowers claim American deaths “were preventable.”


Hat tip to Ace for pointing this out. After denying she was Border Czar, Harris is now...saying she was tough on the border:

thehill.com - Kamala harris tough border ad

Vice President Harris’s campaign is touting her record on immigration policy in an ad arguing she will be tough on the hot-button issue of the southern border.

The 30-second ad, titled “Tougher,” highlights the vice president’s work as a prosecutor in California before she became a senator.

“Kamala Harris has spent decades fighting violent crime. As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across the border,” the ad reads.

It adds that “as vice president, she backed the toughest border control bill in decades. And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.”


Harris has allowed the China and the cartels to flood the United States with fentanyl and the only Border Patrol agents she'll hire will be the ones the process people across the border faster.
