The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

would have cemented into law that we had to accept an average of 5,000 a day over a week or 8,500 in a single day, before allowing expedited deportations.

Again, you repeat lies. That law didn't REQUIRE that anyone be let in. It only required that number of people present themselves at the border. They all could be turned back if their paperwork was not in order.

It's called doing their fucking job - to examine everyone coming to the border. But when you get too many, there aren't enough resources (there's that problem again - a problem that would have been fixed with the law your favorite morons turned down) to process everyone. So you shut down the border while the insufficient number of people do their job and process the backlog of applications already in line.

You've been fed lies and swallowed them all.
