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.

There aren't going to be mass deportations. Have you seriously looked at the feasibility of deporting millions in a rapid period of time? I don't want to pay for that either. And they're talking about flying them out.

That wouldn't be feasible.

It seems most people are thinking it's like the old days when "they" sneak in from Mexico, we catch them, send them back to Mexico. That was fine when they were Mexicans, and you just pile them into some buses and drive them across the border. But Mexico is under no obligation to take Costa Ricans, or Nicaraguans, or other nationalities. So we would have to fly them, which is very expensive. And most of what is coming across these days are not Mexicans.

And that's not even broaching the fact that -under current law and treaties-, asylum-seekers have the right to be here. Which, as we thoroughly discussed previously on this board, is a matter for Congress to change those laws.
