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.

You neglected to mention that US Border Patrol in Del Rio, TeXas reported that since October 1, they have arrested 68 convicted sex offenders who have tried crossing the border illegally. Of those 68, sixty-two of them were convicted of sexual crimes against children.

That’s great. You keep telling me that Biden has an open border. I think you misinformed me about the border.

The other 2 crimes are horrific, and I hope our criminal justice system prosecutes them and punishes them to the full extent of the law.

Adjudicated rapists, too.

FBI data shows that violent crime is dropping under Biden.

According to the article linked below:

An NBC News review of available 2024 crime data from the cities targeted by Texas’ “Operation Lone Star,” which buses or flies migrants from the border to major cities in the interior — shows overall crime levels dropping in those cities that have received the most migrants.

Overall crime is down year over year in Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, New York and Los Angeles. Crime has risen in Washington, D.C., but local officials do not attribute the spike to migrants.


And most law enforcement does not track crime by immigration status, but again from the article:

In December 2020, researchers studying Texas crime statistics found that “contrary to public perception, we observe considerably lower felony arrest rates among undocumented immigrants compared to legal immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens and find no evidence that undocumented criminality has increased in recent years.”

So you’re right, not a tough choice.
