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.

Nah. IIRC about 30% weren't claiming asylum, then of what was left about 1/3 didn't make it past the six week hearing, then another 13 didn't make it past the final hearing. So maybe around 20-30 % passed the final hearing.

Uh, huh. You’re still talking about thousands of people.

Look, just take the loss on this one. You people swore up and down there was absolutely nothing that could be done. Only passing this Supremely Awesome Border Bill was going to do anything.

But you guys overplayed your hand and fed the leg too many poison pills without giving the GOP any real security. Then when a REAL border security bill showed up - HB2 - you all screamed about it.

We get it. You think that “demographics is destiny” and that the more people you can pump into the country the better your party will do.
