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.<<

My read is similar, which is why this tactic from the Senate perplexes me a little. Exactly how do Dems benefit from playing into this? I don't see how Dems benefit, but Repubs do. - Lapsody


-----------------

I would like to see the particulars of the Senate proposal to see how close we really are. Has a guaranteed minimum of 5,000 per day been stripped out, for example.

Even if Biden agrees to really strong border bill, there remains the problem of trusting him to implement it. The changes included in any bill will barely be started, if at all, by election day. If Biden wins the election, what incentive will he have to enthusiastically implement the reforms. More likely he would simply not enforce any new provisions that would impede flow.

His track record certainly validates that concern. Agree?
