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.

Again, as I asked Dope, why on earth would those folks choose to enter the country by turning themselves in and seeking asylum, rather than trying to sneak through either with falsified documents or trying to evade detection? Walking up to Border Patrol and handing yourself in is an idiotic move for an actual terrorist (as opposed to the two million people who are on the terror watch list, which doesn't mean they're actually terrorists, just people we want to keep an eye on). - albaby

------------------

Who says they are walking up? Some are probably, some try to sneak in and are caught. Others may disappear into the wind as a gottaway.

The Borer patrol periodically announces they caught five or ten of them who were on the watch list. They never detail the split between walk up's vs caught skulking in the desert. Don't see how that matters. The point is they are present in the population and pose a danger to us, more-so the more you let in, it's a numbers game.
