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.

We have a problem whether you see it or not.

Yes, we do. I have said so many times.

Just admit it, you are entirely happy with unlimited access to our country by anyone choosing to follow the process even when you know the process is a sham. Is there any limit to how many we should let in in your view of things?

No, I'm not. The system we have is far short of ideal, but it's the system we have. Until Congress gets off their butts and fixes the system. But they don't seem to be incentivized. They're more interested in spouting rhetoric.

Among other problems, I see people getting in without medical screening, illegal workers being exploited and having no recourse (because they'll get deported), the possibility that terrorists could slip in (doesn't seem to have happened yet), "anchor babies" once they are here, DREAMERS, critical agriculture work not getting done (Americans won't do it), and more. I have said repeatedly that we need some sort of migrant visa for temporary workers. We actually have such, as I linked a week or two ago, but it has problems. We need a better asylum system.

Just building a wall and saying "done!" isn't nearly enough.
