The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

They're not "gaming the system." As noted above between a third and forty percent of asylum applications are granted.

They're gaming the system. There's no mass upheaval in any country in Central or South America right now. Just a bunch of folks looking for an economic upgrade. That's the majority of our southern border crossings.

And they've been instructed to say the magic words to get the nice CBP officer to hand them a phone and a court date sometime in the next decade.

We're being played. Why can't you see that?
