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.

bighairymike: Not mentioned in this article is that both murderers are from Venezuela.

Their country of origin is literally in the first sentence of your linked article: "Police in Houston have arrested two migrants from Venezuela..."

Perhaps this will be of interest to you since your subject line is "More avoidable migrant crime":

On one of Trump's last days in the White House in January 2021, the outgoing president signed an executive order shielding more than 145,000 Venezuelan migrants -- rewarding Venezuelan exiles who have been among his most loyal supporters -- from facing deportation, writing that the "deteriorative condition" in Venezuela was grounds for providing the relief.

Republican senator Marco Rubio praised Dear Leader's decision: “America remains a beacon of hope and freedom for many, and now eligible Venezuelan nationals in the U.S. will receive much-needed temporary immigration relief.”

In contrast, in October 2022, Biden invoked a Trump-era rule, Title 42, to deny Venezuelans who enter the U.S. illegally the chance to request asylum. That executive order stated that any Venezuelans who enter the U.S. "between ports of entry, without authorization, will be returned to Mexico."

Cults being cults, everything bad is an avoidable failure by the guy with the funny shoes.
