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.

It's your turn to explain why Trump's policies are good for the country, Michael.

--Petey

Okay Petey, here's one

Putting a stop as best he can to an unending stream of immigrants is good for our county. Why is that good? We already have run out of money to support them and a small number of them are hardened criminals who are preying on our population. Trump would deport them, Harris wants to disband ICE.

When we deport anyone for whatever reason, they need to stay deported. Hence a significant emphasis on border security is called for which is different than simply increasing our welcome wagon capacity. We are more likely to have a president who will take a hard line on immigrant crime with Trump. Harris has a well earned reputation for being soft on crime. No border security system can be perfect so there will be violators who must be apprehended and deported, hence we need more ICE, and an end to sanctuary cities or states. Both of which are more likely under Trump than Harris.
