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.

Dope1: The democrats want more agents to process people into the country faster.

That's just a flat out lie.

The bipartisan bill gave asylum officers the authority to screen applicants within 90 days of their arrival in the country using a tougher standard for entry into the U.S. and, for those who passed, a decision on their cases within another 90 days. Cases would be decided in just six months instead of six years, as is common in a court system backlogged with cases today. It would have done so by hiring more than 4,300 asylum officers who would take on the work now reserved for immigration judges.

Dope1: That bill had very little in the way of actual security and was mostly about processing people in faster.

Duh. Processing people faster returns them to their country of origin faster; see above (six months instead of six years). Plus, again, the bill included stricter standards for meeting asylum standards.

Dope1: The government under Biden has been actively shipping migrants around and more or less ignoring the fact that we have a border at all.

Trump Cult nonsense.
