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.

bighairymike: Putting a stop as best he can to an unending stream of immigrants is good for our county [sic]. Why is that good? We already have run out of money to support them and a small number of them are hardened criminals who are preying on our population. Trump would deport them, Harris wants to disband ICE.

Um, what now?

First of all, there's no way for Trump to "deport them". There's no funding, there's no infrastructure, and not enough buses and planes to even begin to remove millions of immigrants who are so tightly woven into the fabric of the economy. Second, you're holding Harris to something she said five years ago. She has changed her position on ICE.

But since you're not even aware that Trump has called for up to 20% tariffs on all imports, there's no way you're keeping up with Harris's policies.

bighairymike: No border security system can be perfect so there will be violators who must be apprehended and deported, hence we need more ICE...

Um, we had it. Trump killed it. You're backing the wrong candidate. Harris has said she will ask Congress to bring back the Lankford border bill and sign it when passed.

Trump will have a bill in two weeks. And two weeks more. And two weeks more. And then in another two weeks. Getting it here in two more weeks. And then another two weeks.
