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.

"We covered that bill. It was trash, and did zero to secure the border despite what lefties tried to post here."

How was it worse that the current status quo?

You always avoid that question.

Obviously the bill wasn't perfect. It isn't my ideal, nor yours. It doesn't address DACA, etc. However it undoubtably gave the President better tools to address the floods of refugees than exist right now. That is inarguable by simple logic.

So how was that bill worse than the current status quo?

I know you won't answer because you are incapable of answering. For one, there is no easy answer. By basic logic the bill is better than current status quo. For two, you won't answer because your political masters won't answer. It is clear from your postings that you have very little understanding of how immigration works. Albaby regularly ran circles around you (and you literally learned nothing from it). You just regurgitate what your political masters tell you. It doesn't matter how many people point out that the Border Patrol union wanted the bill. Numerous Republican Senators wanted the bill. Trump needed a campaign issue and put his candidacy ahead of the country and you are following along with him.

Just answer the question. How was that bill worse than the current status quo?
