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.

"Because Biden would not enforce it but it would present an obstacle to Trump."

Your Biden comment is quite lol given all that Biden has done (get your news from real sources and not nutter sources). But that is besides the point, how would it present an obstacle to Trump?

I know you don't really know what was in the bill, so you won't give a real answer, so I will try to teach the pig to sing......

Right now there are no tools a president can use when the border gets overwhelmed with legal refugees seeking asylum. Legally we have to give them all due process. This means crude efforts at filtering out the ones with legitimate pleas to make versus one's that don't. Unfortunately that all takes time and can be appealed meaning people seeking asylum can be in the U.S. for months before their case is resolved.

The bill included triggers that would shut down the border whenever thresholds were met. This would help blunt the wave whenever the border was overwhelmed. As no one could seek asylum at that point. It also made it easier for the border patrol to pre-screen seekers which would possibly prevent cases from even going to court. It also included money for more resources to process asylum claims which means the process would be shortened and people eventually deemed here illegally could be removed faster.

It would be like a president only has a hammer and a regular screwdriver and has to rebuild a whole car. Congress passes a law that gives the president a whole toolbox filled with dozens of tools. You somehow think this is going to somehow be an obstacle for Trump. You somehow think having more and better tools makes it harder for Trump to defend the border. That is dumb and illogical.

Your ignorance is being taken advantage of. Please do better. Become better educated.
