The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

It's not the French Foreign Legion where you just make up a name and are issued an ID with your photo on it. - 1pg

----------------------

This is exactly what some border runners do. I am sure most of you saw the video where a border agent was showing a sack he collected with passports that illegals had discarded just before they running the border. They want to shed their old identity to get a fresh start at US taxpayer expense.

So how do you verify their identity before you give them photo id? The answer is, you can't. It would be useful if you show up without a verifiable identity, you immediately go back but that would be mean.

Lack of identity is what makes a joke out of Biden's claim of that all immigrants are vetted before being released.
