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.

ME: Open borders may have existed in the 1700s and 1800s, but not in my lifetime. So that's false and further, you knew it was false when you wrote it.

Dope: A lie. Several, actually.
Bidern provided every incentive for people to rush the border and threw the gates wide open. We called it out while this board disingenuously claimed that "no, no, that's not happening" when it clearly was.


Not lies, you were present in the arguments and didn't dispute Albabay's explanations of the process, just his legal reasoning. If you look back, you'll find that 10-15% we're being turned back at the borders. You are just propagandizing, or more accurately, lying.

"In fiscal year (FY) 2024 (October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024), the Biden administration completed
roughly 700,000 removals and returns of immigrants at and between U.S. borders. This figure represents the highest number of annual removals and returns since 2010." (BP can go up to 100 miles from borders.)

Also, there was an admin review of the remaining claims at six weeks, and a third of those were disqualified, but some filed appeals.

Then it tightened up into crossing the border and claiming asylum was the wrong way, you had to cross at certain points and file for asylum (the right way), and the number was limited. Crossing anywhere else disqualified your claim (and you had to wait for a few years, IIRC)

So at a minimum 10-15% were turned back, then later on that tightened. I like the policy where they stayed in Mexico, but that border area become dangerous.

Then another half were denied at their final hearing. (roughly 1-2 years)

So at 100 crossing the numbers looked something like this:
Crossed 100
Turned back -15 Immediately
Remaining 85
1st hearing DQ -28 six weeks
Remaining 57
Final hearing DQ -28 1-2 years
Qual Asylum, etc 29
