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.

LM: I can sympathize with Mayor Adams, he is caught between a rock and a hard place...
The root cause for this and other horrible situations is President Joe Biden.


As we've discussed ad nauseum, the root cause for this situation is the mismatch between our current immigration laws and funding levels and the now-changed sources of immigration. We have a border control regime that devotes a ton of resources to trying to catch people sneaking into the country for work, but instead today we face huge numbers of people openly turning themselves in to claim asylum. With the former group, you don't need to worry about what happens after you catch them; with the latter group, that's the central problem. We don't have enough resources to manage hundreds of thousands of people waiting years for their asylum hearings.

That problem is not caused by Biden. That problem won't be fixed by a President Trump. Only Congress can fix it, and immigration politics is so divided that they can't do anything.
