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.

And how about the Biden 'gottaways' staggering numbers?....'Over 73,000 'gotaways' at southern border in November, highest ever recorded'
foxnews.com - Gotaways so...


Yes....and how about those gotaways?

If we look at Politifact, we learn a few actual....facts. You should check it out.
politifact.com - Nikki haley cites unverified number of border got

= "Nikki Haley cites unverified number of border 'got aways,' official data is scarce with limitations"

= "The number of 'got aways,' people who cross the border without being stopped, is officially published only once a year and represents data from two fiscal years back."
So if the got aways figures published annually are from 2 fiscal years back, this means that the huge numbers''if they're real''occurred during Trump's years.

And more....

= "DHS estimates the number of "got aways" based on Border Patrol agents' observations, what they hear from other immigrants who were apprehended, footprints, cameras and sensors.

DHS estimated there were about 137,000 "got aways" in fiscal year 2020. In April, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told lawmakers that in fiscal year 2021 there were about 389,000 "got aways."

DHS' latest report acknowledged that the subjective way the data is gathered can be problematic. It said it's working to enact a standard to ensure Border Patrol agents' reporting is as accurate as possible."
