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.

No. I think he's saying that if the crowd was full of people gaming the system, and that "magic words" got you paroled into the USA, we would be seeing 3-7% success, not the 33-40% success we have now, so it isn't happening.

That's under the assumption that CBP isn't just waving people through on these interviews straight to the parole system. Right now the system is so underwater and the officers are so overwhelmed, do you guys really think they're doing their due diligence on the asylees?

Because if you do, I've some oceanfront property in Montana to sell you.

But it looks like it's going to be sustained for another 20 years. Tell ya what Dope, I'll agree to zero as a trigger for a year for a years full funding of Ukraine. Deal?

See, the rest of you? This is called dealmaking.

You can have *5* years of funding for the Ukraine in exchange for perpetual zero triggers and a rule that states that if we catch you entering the US illegally and you've committed ANOTHER crime, you're doing time in a US jail. I'll also throw in a new program that expands the amount of work authorizations for inbound immigrants (which the current bill has).

Deal?
