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.

It is a stupid policy, but that doesn't mean it isn't deliberate.

Marco, policy is by definition deliberate, but it is a quantum leap to declare there was a secret plan to flood the nation with million of immigrants.

You have to explain why there were 3 million expulsions at the border under Title 42 and hundreds of thousands of deportations during the Biden administration that contradict your conspiracy theory.

"A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that blames it on a secret plot by powerful, often malevolent, groups, rejecting the official or mainstream account, and relies on suspicion and hidden motives rather than evidence."

The explanation of the planes by the admin was to control the flow of immigrants, and all the "evidence" supports that.

If your claim is true, "Anyone with an ounce of sense understands that the plan was to flood the country with millions of illegal aliens," then there should be no expulsions, and there were expulsions. There would be no deportations, and there were deportations.

You have misstated the policy. What was Biden's actual policy and how did it change? and why did it change? The articles describe that.

Cue an irrational abusive response.
