The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

This does not put a dent in the so called gottaways, estimated by BP to be 800 to 1,000 a day. By definition, these guys are not encountered by BP, so what stops that? And these people avoid BP for some reason so probably are more of a security or criminal risk than average. The border should be permanently closed to these types, regardless of current daily average.

Exactly. The entire exercise is so the dems can say they passed a bill. The bill would do nothing except tie the hands of the next President.

There’s even more stupidity buried in the bill, like how they plan to expedite asylums when the backlog is 2million+ cases, but who cares? The whole thing isn’t even going to pass cloture in the Senate.

That it’s a bad bill won’t stop the usual suspects here from claiming that Biden has nothing to do with the border and that it’s all the fault of Congressional Republicans, though. Before they lie to us they have to lie to themselves.
