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.

you had a lot of folks in disadvantaged community that were very upset that these folks got to jump the line.

This plus the big question - why should only south/central Americans be able to jump the line while Asians and Europeans can't? Especially considering that Asians/Europeans tend to add value to the economy a lot quicker than South/Central Americans do. Can you imagine what would happen if an Asian guy who doesn't have a visa jumped through passport control at the airport border and tries to get into the country? They'd probably have officers chasing him down and perhaps even shooting him if necessary. Meanwhile at the southern border, the ones that lead to South/Central America, people regularly walk/swim across and sometimes even have nice folks on the US side handing out water bottles to assuage their thirst.
