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 deportation of POC to 'shithole' countries,

Most of them / all of them came from such countries. Don't blame us

while importing Afrikaaners is a damn clear manifestation of Delonald's goal.

Yes, obviously one of the goals but how about the people in question? The same thing was done to White Rhodesions. Nobody said a word 40-50 yrs ago.


Wanna bet the white affrikaaners get , seating at the next SOTU and fast-tracked citizenship?


I believe Kennedy did exactly that for Cubans. Instant citizenship. No poor struggling immigrant sob stories necessary. (Of course they weren't poor anyway.) Just hit the beach and you're in. Keeping in mind the Cubans of that cohort group were the ones who owned all the property, had all the money, owned all the businesses and worked with American Capitalists for decades (Ok I guess the mafia and the cia too...?) to make conditions in Cuba so bad Castro and the Commmies actually looked like a better deal.

Not a one of them has vetted for evidence of eating pets, cats, dogs, mental illness, crime... tattoos fer chrissakes. What about tattooos? LGBTQ status? Are they even the right religion?

Excellent point. But you don't know for sure there has been no vetting. The larger point is they are from a First World country (for the time being anyway) and would probably be deemed to need less vetting. Not at all surprising. Besides, what were there, like 60? You could practically get to know them personally which i believe is part of it. These didn't hear Bob Barker say "Come on down! They know somebody who knew somebod yadda yadda... Donald Trump.
