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.

Dope1: Because democrats can't govern their way out of a wet paper bag that's on fire (because somebody soaked it in gasoline) and Biden shares the same governing philosophy as the people who passed all Teh Stoopid in places like Seattle. As for his direct contribution to crime, one needs only look at the southern border and the sanctuary policies that his brand of politicians favors.

Studies have established that sanctuary cities have less crime.

In a study published in Social Science Research, researcher Marta Ascherio shows that both property crime and violent crime decreased more in sanctuary counties than in nonsanctuary counties after 2014, when many such policies were implemented. Her findings also suggest that sanctuary practices in counties improve political integration in immigrant communities, lead to positive spillover effects, and increase overall social harmony in the areas where they are implemented.

Another: The author finds no evidence that sanctuary policies cause an increase in crime overall. These findings remain even when controlling for the effectiveness of the local government as well as other immigration policies. In addition to finding evidence of no increase in crime, there is weaker evidence that sanctuary policies may actually decrease property crime.

And another: The data are clear: Crime is statistically significantly lower in sanctuary counties compared to nonsanctuary counties. Moreover, economies are stronger in sanctuary counties — from higher median household income, less poverty, and less reliance on public assistance to higher labor force participation, higher employment-to-population ratios, and lower unemployment.

Study after study after study has established that sanctuary policies do not increase crime and actually provide economic improvements.

As for the southern border, Orange Jesus killed the strongest immigration bill brought forward in decades, and we've discussed its the ways in which it would make significant improvements to border security repeatedly here but you evidently have not been paying attention.
