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 triggering the so-called enhanced provisions unless 5,000 people cross the border illegally a day very much codifies it into law.

No, it doesn't. The current code provides for no enhanced provisions no matter how many people cross the border. Whatever crisis exists is already codified into law.

You've been lied to. I just showed you the numbers. The triggers don't do anything unless we have numbers that are among the worst we've ever seen.

What are you talking about? Encounters have exceed that threshold every month for the last three years:

cbp.gov - Nationwide encounters

Were you aware that the bill directs *all *immigration* cases to the 5th circuit court? They'll strike down that provision the second it comes across their docket.

On what grounds?
