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.

I'm also tired of the "Dems don't care about the border". That's complete BS. They do. They just envision different solutions than you do. For one, they want more judges and courts to adjudicate cases more quickly. But many on the right just want to put up an impenetrable barrier (hah!) to prevent them from entering in the first place, even though that isn't possible along large parts of the border (e.g. in the middle of a river), and violates the law regarding asylum-seekers. And now nothing will be done because of Trump and Johnson. Trump had the trifecta in 2016, and did nothing except issue edicts that were illegal (and therefore shot down by the courts). Even if he wins this year (unlikely), he still won't be able to do anything without first changing the law. Which, as albaby said, is impossible without compromising with the Dems. If Biden wins, the same would be true...no change without compromising with Reps. Otherwise, it's the status quo probably until after I'm dead and buried.

Sure...you could probably find a few extreme lefties that say "no problem", just as I could find a few extreme righties that say "gun them all down". Neither is representative of either party, and it's unfair to characterize them as such.
