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.

5) Find somewhere else for them to wait. That was Trump's "Remain in Mexico" solution - basically, find another country that's willing to suffer all the adverse consequences to people stuck in limbo that we're unwilling to stomach. Hard to do....Mexico's not going to agree to that again, and there aren't really any other candidates.

===================================

6) Beef up border security seriously by an order of magnitude if necessary dare I say wall AND ensure all but a tiny fraction stay on their side of the wall until and unless the US opens the door for them in some limitied and measured way. And the hidden message to Mexico, if you let them into your country, you are going to be stuck with most of them.
