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.

The Title 42 Covid ban at the southern border is set to end on May 11 and Biden is taking steps to meet the expected increase in migrant arrivals. You'd think republicans would be applauding Biden's EO. But republicans don't want a southern border solution.

We don't?
You have it wrong. The border is and has been overrun with illegals for his entire term. Now that Title 42 is about to end we're going to be even further inundated.

What took him so long to realize the obvious?

DHS has told the White House it needs more than $3 billion from Congress to increase its capacity to shelter, process and transport migrants along the border but republicans refuse to provide funding to secure the border because the border is unsecured.

It's very simple. What you just described has little to do with...securing the border. Congress could give them their $3 billion...and they'd be back in a year with a request for $5 billion and the problem just the same or even worse than it is now.

Fix the problem. Don't generate sound bite talking points.
