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.

Wishful thinking, just wait till Trump/Vance start dumping on the Border Czar and her ten million illegals, among them murders, rapist, drug runners, sex trade and child slave labor to say the least.

Quick question - why would ten million illegal immigrants be hers?

Usually, the "ten million" number refers to the total number of people who are present in the country unlawfully (with big uncertainty - often it's given as between 10-12 million). But the overwhelming majority of them would not have entered during the Biden Administration. Most illegal immigrants have been here for more than a decade. Typically, only about 1 in 5 have entered during the last five years.

It's exceptionally unlikely that the number of illegal immigrants that could be attributed to the current Administration would be anywhere close to 10 million. That's probably off by about an order of magnitude or more. The total illegal population isn't much higher than it was at any point in the Trump Administration, certainly not as much as a million people:
