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.

Abbott is violating the current law. SCOTUS only rules on constitutionality, so all they can say is that the feds can remove the wire constitutionally. But Abbott is preventing BP agents from accessing people on US soil so that they can submit asylum claims. That is illegal. He should be tossed in federal prison.

Biden's the one not defending the southern border; at best what Abbott is doing is civil disobedience.

Ironically, the new bill would make it legal with the 5000 person trigger, or rather, it would put the onus on the feds to do it. There is no "amnesty trojan horse" or any other such nonsense.

And you didn't point anyone to "actual bill text". You linked a moronic X post from a partisan moron.

Tell me you didn't look at the link without telling me you didn't look at the link.

You guys are sooooo easy to trip up with your abject refusal to read anything that's not an approved liberal source. Had you bothered to look at the link, you would have seen...the actual text of the bill. Saying exactly what I said it would say.

Whoops. And this statement that gives a POTUS the ability to ignore the law highlights a lack of knowledge as to what's actually in the bill. I'll summarize: Biden is NOT REQUIRED BY THE LAW TO LOCK ANYTHING DOWN.

He can look at the flood of illegals across the border and declare it in the national interest to not close it off. That's what's in the law.

You know what else is in the law? Auto work permits for every illegal that comes in. Oh, and the whole thing sunsets in 3 years.

Don't tell me that this sh1t sandwich has things Republicans want. You might have buried a nice beef patty in there somewhere, but it's still encased in a bunch of sh1t.
