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.

The GOP has no interest in immigration reform while Biden is in office. The problem is much to valuable to them as a political tool to motivate the MAGA crowd. = ges

==============

Well, the dems brought that upon themselves. In general, Dems are supportive pf open borders (my term for whatever the hell is actually going on at border) and Biden has a well earned reputation for exacerbating this problem and allowing illegal immigration. Yes, I know ,ost are technically legal) to reach levels never before seen. That doesn't make the cost and the security issues any less of a problem. Frankly, besides being dangerous, it is embarrassing that we can't control our borders.

The republicans are rightly justified in their skepticism that Biden will keep up his side of any deal made despite him saying "I am ready for change, I really mean it". His words are inconsistent with his track record.

With Trump, there is no question about his commitment to border security. So trusting a deal made with Trump is no concern at all.
