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.

Wouldn't have been any different if the bill had passed.

Had the bill passed and Trump lost, we'd have a vastly different situation down on the border.

The bill didn't restrict Trump (or any future President) from doing anything, and didn't lock in 5K/day as permitted or authorized or anything.

It didn't. That's true.
All it did was aim to give Biden and future dem Presidents air cover to keep the floodgates open.

You didn't dodge anything, except solutions. Because there wasn't any actual substantive problem with the bill - it didn't restrict the enforcement ability of the President, only added to it.

I've covered this. Biden and Harris never had any intention of doing anything along the border other than accelerating the flow of people over it.
