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.

While wait for the overwhelming wave of bi-partisanship to produce actual legislation, we should going on the name of the act.

Congress is famous for creative names such as,

1. The STABLE GENIUS Act

The Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection (STABLE GENIUS) Act was introduced by Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) in 2018, poking fun at then-President Trump’s claim to reporters that he was a “very stable genius.”

The bill would have required the presidential candidates of a political party to submit to a standardized medical examination and disclose the results before the election. The bill never went anywhere in Congress. But Boyle used its introduction to pounce on the president.


So what would be a good name for this breakthrough in immigration reform?

My first thought was, "The Greg Abbott We are ALL Border States Act".

But then I realized a less snarky name was in order given the seriousness etc, so how about the softer, "The Greg Abbott Restore our Sovereignty Act". GARSA, I like it.

And after all, you must admit that none of this reform would even be talked about if it weren't for Governor Abbott's visionary program known as Operation Lone Star.
