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.

WHAT action by Congress?


What have I been suggesting for years here? There are embassy laws, or similar, that we can use. May have to tailor it. We build processing facilities, say 10 miles inside the border. We process everything there and have a little court system to meet all legal requirements. Only 5% of those applying for amnesty may qualify. We put together a system that sorts down to say 8-10% and let the 90-92% know they don't qualify. They stay on the other side of the border.

If you want we can build housing for the 8-10% until we know they qualify and then bring them across. We take photos, fingerprints, DNA, etc., and if they are found in the us, increasing penalties, etc.

For those that overstay their visas, just ship them out.

Mid you, all of this is expensive, so let's tax the 1%. :)
