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.

I don't think so. Per my memory at over 5,000 Trump could shut down the border and not take any crossings -just turn 'em right back.

Yes. We had this discussion last year, and apparently we're having to have it again. As I recall, albaby even quoted the text of the proposed bill. Dope is simply wrong in this. Right now, and also a year ago, there is no option to close the border at 5000. So it could be 500,000, with nothing to stop it. If that bill had passed, there would be that option. But it didn't, so there isn't.

QED

If there is a bill this year, I suspect it will strongly resemble the one they agreed to last year. If it is more restrictive, most Dems won't go for it. If it's less restrictive, most Reps won't go for it. So it will have to resemble the previous agreement, or there will be no bill. My prediction.
