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.

Blend in with who?

With the many thousands of people who are showing up at the border.

Again, it's not hard to pick out the one guy who speaks only Arabic, and doesn't speak a word of Spanish. And if that guy doesn't have any ID at all, he's not going to get treated the same way as the hundreds of thousands of central american migrants who are getting processed.

That's the point - if you're trying to get over the border unnoticed, you're better off being one of the thousands and thousands of Arabic-speaking nationals who fly into New York or DC every day and passing through an ordinary customs counter, rather than being one of the three or four dozen Arabic-speaking nationals who show up at the southern border claiming asylum. Get a fake passport and fly in - there's no benefit at all to trying to go through the asylum process, and a massive amount of risk.
