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.

So it's more important to many Reps to help a campaign than it is to stem the "flood" of migrants crossing the border and remaining. - 1pg

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

Hidden agendas can cut both ways. Voters are left to figure it out as best they can.

The "compromise" may or may not need killing based on what is or is not in it. It could very well be the case that Dems will include a poisonous clause forcing a rejection in the house and giving Biden something to campaign on.

Dope quoted Ace of Spades who brilliantly explained it this way,

Every single year, the "Gang of Traitors" proposes the same laundry list:

* More money to process illegals faster
* Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!
* Work visas for illegals
* A "path to citizenship" for illegals

We keep telling them we want:

* a border wall
* more security
* more deportations
* a sharply narrowed definition of who is permitted to claim "asylum" status, which is how most illegals scheme their way into the country

We keep saying the same thing year after year, and the Gang of Traitors says they're finally going to give us border security -- Border security, in these four steps:

* More money to process illegals faster
* Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!
* Work visas for illegals
* A "path to citizenship" for illegals

Wait...

that's...

that's the exact same thing you've "offered" us since 2002... <--- Spot on.
