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.

Blue State Politician: "No I do not, and I say again, we will not help in their deportation. My policy is that the criminals should be allowed to stay too."

That's just bullshit, Mike. You're making up stuff to knock it down.

We already deport more than a million undocumented immigrants each year. Committing criminal acts is the fastest way to get yourself deported. Few people complain about that. Frankly, many on the left would support an increase in those deportations. They even had a bill in Congress that would have accomplished that.

No one supports non-citizen criminals remaining in the country without proper documentation to live here.

What many people DO support is finding a way for the undocumented who have been living productive, peaceful lives in the US for a while to stay here.
