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 forgot tactic No. 6:

6. Encouraging and inviting millions upon millions of illegal immigrants to settle in the United States, have children here, provide billions in government benefits to them (while accepting the requisite direct or indirect political contributions to themselves or their cronies); and ultimately to grant them all amnesty to create a permanent electoral majority in exchange for the largesse.

Oh fuck! It's the DEMOCRATS who are trying to do that, not the Republicans.

Sorry I got confused, my bad.


Does the name RONALD REAGAN (i.e. "Raygun Ronnie") RING A BELL?

"President Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) on November 6, 1986, granting legal status to nearly 3 million undocumented immigrants who met specific requirements, including continuous residence since January 1, 1982. It was designed to balance amnesty with employer sanctions for hiring illegal workers."

So, precedent set:

1. About 4.5 yrs of continuous residency in US,
2. No other requirements stated.

So, about 4.5-million aliens granted legal status TODAY would be close to the same proportion allowed relative to the total US population. Or would we need to allow MORE ???

ROFLMAO !!!

Let Barron Trump work in the fields picking lettuce, tomatoes, beans, and so on. It would be SO "morals building" for HIM. And it gives him a REAL job, learning the real world.
