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.

LurkerMom: 'Fox News footage shows mass release of migrants into US, as numbers hit 500,000...

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-new...

Fox News? I know what you are thinking. You will not get the same footage and information from the MSM.


Perhaps because it's lousy reporting by Fox and a poorly written article?

For example, the headline implies 500,000 migrants were released into the US but the article says: "Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources have told Fox that there have been more than 500,000 encounters already this fiscal year..."

What exactly are "encounters"? The article offers no definition but it does state that of those 500,000 encountered, "162,547 have been expelled under Title 42". So there wasn't a mass release of 500,000, then, since at least 162,547 individuals were expelled?

Also, your article is almost a month old.

Finally, republicans have no desire to solve the southern border problems. It's their cudgel. Had they any interest, they would have tackled immigration when they control the House, the Senate and the White House. But all they wanted then was money for a useless wall that the president promised Mexico would fund.

Let's see what the McCarthy House comes up with to solve what they have called one of the country's most important issues.
