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.

Tuesday that the new law was about “ensuring that all of our residents can interact with our government without the fear that Donald Trump’s deportation squad is around the corner.

Great move. But I'm sure that doesn't include that if an illegal immigrant is charged and convicted in the criminal justice system, that we don't let Donald trump's deportation squad deport him. Meanwhile, if someone under deportation orders goes to the ER for treatment, do we treat and deport them? Won't that make them less likely to get treatment? Is it to our benefit that we encourage getting treated, rather than discourage? How about if the Avian Flu jumps into the human population? How about if they bring their American born daughter in for treatment but aren't a criminal?

I don't think we can proceed against a few groups and the rest will be left alone. I think the logistics are such that they're likely just to grab what they can and deport. We'll be dealing with a mixed bag with all of the horror stories. We're gonna bust up families. We'll take Grandma And Grandpa of an American born family and deport them, with black marks,so their chances of getting back to their family approach zero. We are likely to concoct policies that separate Mom and daughter. What kind of country does that? What kind of country deliberately does inhumane things just to send messages?

And what do we do if we run a DNA test and find out that Her Papa Ain't Her Papa But Her Papa Don't Know? Shame and scandal in the family turns into outright tragedy! Shades of Evangeline - they meet at the end of their lives. I'm beggin ya , let's not write that song, let's not write that story, It we are going to err, let's err on the side of humanity.
