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.

Loads of you have said “the GOP will never get this deal again”.

Yep. That doesn't mean that the specifics of the deal that might have been achievable at this time weren't negotiable. It just means that the GOP will never have as good of bargaining position to extract concessions on border and immigration issues as they do right now. They had the unique combination of: i) an absolutely time-critical, must-pass (for the Administration) effort on foreign policy that they had successfully linked to immigration; and ii) an acute political crisis caused by an unplanned/unbudgeted surge of people causing havoc in Democratic cities. That's not going to happen again any time soon. Rather than seize that opportunity, the GOP let it slip away.

Let’s also note you backing away from the voting thing. Do tell us how many more illegals you find.

You've mentioned this a few times. But I can't find anything from officials or police or anyone that says that the shooter wasn't here legally, or talking about their citizenship/immigration status at all. Do you have any evidence that she was? As noted upthread, it's a bit inconsistent with some of the other reporting, which suggests (although also without sourcing) that the guns were purchased legally.
