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.

They are not illegals. If you like, you can go back to the schooling that albaby gave everyone in January, and continuing to this month. Mike (BHM) says he "cringes" now when he hears them referred to as illegals because he now knows better.

The "they have been schooled" angle was also thoroughly trounced. It isn't happening. Most asylum-seekers don't even get past the first interview, and 60% who get a court date don't pass either. But the 40% who do indicate that a very large number of people come here with claims that hold up in court, even without counsel (few, if any, have legal counsel and have to represent themselves). Under current law, we are obligated to give every one of them a chance to make their case.

And they were coming by the millions before Joe took office. They were coming in droves under Trump until COVID hit. COVID reduced it to a trickle. Once COVID restrictions were lifted, the torrent continued. Again, we have been all over this. I only repeat it here because you had better things to do than read a message board for the past several weeks, and I totally understand that priority. When 1poorlady was sick, I didn't spend much time on the boards (TMF) either. You can either take my word for it, that my summary is accurate, or go dig up the threads and read them yourself. Though it's a LOT of reading, it was very enlightening.

Under current law, there is nothing Joe can do. And if he were to win in November, there is nothing Donny can do, either. The Executive cannot do anything. The Legislative has to change the law, and they show no signs of doing it now that the Lankford bill is dead.
