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.

DOPE:We are building more of the wall

No we’re not.


OH YES WE ARE - AND THIS IS THE TEXAS TRIBUNE

Biden administration presses forward with border wall plans in Texas, angering allies

Even as the president says the barriers don’t work, his administration says it will waive environmental laws to build them quickly.

Democrats, environmentalists and advocates for migrants are expressing anger this week as President Joe Biden’s administration continues to push forward with plans to build sections of border wall along parts of Texas’ border with Mexico.

Biden says he has no choice but to continue building the wall, and in a public filing that went into effect Thursday, his administration gave notice that it intends to waive 26 laws and regulations in order to “take immediate action” to build a few miles of new barrier in Starr County.

Biden is doing all he can to open the border.

OH NO HE ISN'T. I've watched as Biden retained Title 42, then I saw he actually tried to duplicate Title 42 in a bureaucratic way. So he's done everything to try and keep the power to turn back immigrants, and Albaby has explained this to you multiple times.

We have the policies you want. Just own up to it.

You don't have the policies unless Trump becomes a dictator and ignores Congress and the Supreme Court. What we want is legislation passed that will give any President, Republican or Democrat, better administrative tools to work with. The admin tools we have don't work, and your fearless leader has instructed Congress not to cooperate on legislation so he can use it as a campaign issue, when he didn't fare well with it himself except for Title 42.
