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.

There are around 5,800 undocumented immigrants in Maine, making up about 0.4% of the state's population.

According to the net sifter, there are about 2M illegals in Texas, about 7-8% of the population. Why do we not hear about the same sort of thing going on in Texas, as we see in Minnesota? Are white Texans cheering ICE? Are there thousands of Kyle Rittenhouse wannabees running around Texas "helping"? Is the media making a point of ignoring it? Is the plan to only agitate in Blue states, then use the pushback as an excuse to declare martial law, so they don't have elections next fall?

For the record, Minnesota has 4 GOP Congressmen and 4 Dem Congressmen. Both Senators are Dems. One Senator's term is up in 26. She is not running for another term.

Ah, got it. Declare martial law only in the metro Minneapolis area, where all four Dem House seats are. Only let the outstate people vote, which is Trump country.
