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.

LurkerMom: At least Trump tried to stop the flow of migrants into America with the policies he had in place, the same policies Biden did away with on day one of his presidency.


That's complete nonsense.

From the Cato Institute: President Biden has not suddenly ended America's immigration prohibition and opened up U.S. borders to almost anyone who wants to come (as was largely America's immigration policy from 1776 to 1924). Instead, he has far more vigorously enforced immigration prohibition than the law requires, narrowing the few exceptions to the universal ban on legal immigration.

For example, one exception is for those facing persecution in their home countries. Biden has undisputed authority under the law to admit as many refugees from abroad as he wants. The president sets the limit and picks whoever he considers 'of concern' to the United States. Yet Biden is on pace to admit the fewest refugees in the history of the U.S. refugee program, fewer than 10,000.

LinkedIn? Had you actually read the unpublished "article," you'd have seen the sources and data date back to 2008. Certainly the Trump administration had access to that same information and took decisive action against those notorious gangs.

Oh wait.

The report in this link is from 2015. Again, the entire Trump administration had access to the data and did what, exactly?

Evidently the information is only important now because everything that's ever happened is Biden's fault.
