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: So now we're not just allowing them into the country unimpeded, we're inviting them to take charge. It's almost as if they're daring us to take to the streets and fight back. ... Got my popcorn and lemonade, passing the time waiting for commonone... a good opportunity for a couple cartel plants to help move more drugs into Chicago and Rockford.

Well, I won't make you wait.

This new law only applies to non-U.S. citizens who already are allowed to work in the U.S. under federal law, as they are now as healthcare workers and in the military. They must be able to obtain, carry, purchase, or otherwise possess a firearm under current federal laws.

The new law also applies to individuals who entered the country without valid documents as children but who were allowed to stay under the DACA program.

So, no, not every non-citizen is eligible.

The "cartel plants" comment doesn't make much sense, does it? Just more fearmongering.
