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.

Because there's always at least 1K encounters per day on the border. It would always be met. It needs to be high enough that in most "normal" circumstances, we won't be depriving people of even the ability to ask for a hearing on their asylum claims.

But the number could change; even you admit that now.

What BAD things are in the bill? All you've pointed out is that the good things aren't big enough, or last long enough, for your liking.

Again:
1. The trigger clause
2. The phase outs
3. Bailouts for sanctuary cities
4. Remanding all cases away from the border and to the DC court.
5. The fact that the trigger isn't really a trigger - Biden can ignore it if he wants.

I'm sure if I looked harder I could probably find more.

You're being offered Wagyu steak that's smaller than you'd like - but not a pile of sh!t.

1-5 above are a hefty dosage of sh1t, thank you very much.
