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.

Not really, but that's not the point of this argument.

Yes - Heller didn't have anything to say about AWB, and Bruen doesn't foreclose them. Which is why those regulations are sometimes able to pass a preliminary request for temporary injunction, while a facially illegal action (like just ignoring the asylum statutes) wouldn't.

Sure about that? 85% of millions of people are millions of people they've let go.

15% of millions are also still millions (or hundreds of thousands) of people they haven't let go. That's why it's just dumb beyond imagining for an actual terrorist, trying to enter the U.S. to commit some heinous act, to try to do it by showing up at the border with no ID and claiming asylum. As opposed to the way that all the actual international terrorists did, which is to get some falsified travel documents and come in through an airport.

No offense, but you're really, really bad at this.
The point is you wait as long as possible on the blood test you require.


Why bother? Again, there's no legal prohibition on detaining these people indefinitely. You don't need subterfuge. If you want to lock up all the asylees in detention camps, you can do it. The problem is, as always, the logistics of it. You need Congress to authorize the funds necessary to build detention facilities for hundreds of thousands of people, to provide food and clothing and medical treatment for them, and to staff all of them. And find some way to solve the problem of children, who can't be detained indefinitely. Congress doesn't want to do that, and it's kind of dumb to spend billions of dollars to put people in years of detention instead of just speeding up the asylum review.
