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.

Here's what former law enforcement officials have to say about the border:

X (Twitter): Senator Ron Johnson on X: "This sobering letter from former FBI, Homeland Security, and other law enforcement officials describes the chilling reality of why @P

The threat we call out today is new and unfamiliar. In its modern history the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland, and, yet, one is unfolding now. Military age men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States, are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands – not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane bur rather by foot across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected with ready access granted.”

“It would be difficult to overstate the danger represented by the presence inside our borders of what is comparatively a multi division army of young single adult males from hostile nations and regions whose background, intent, or allegiance is completely unknown.


Bbbut it's mostly families crossing the border, you stupid Trumpies! Terrorists never come over!!!

Say, let's ask the San Diego field office what they think:

X (Twitter): Bill Melugin on X: "NEW: Per CBP sources, CBP’s San Diego field office sent out this internal intel bulletin on Friday, alerting officers that Hamas, Hezbollah,

NEW: Per CBP sources, CBP’s San Diego field office sent out this internal intel bulletin on Friday, alerting officers that Hamas, Hezbollah, & Palestinian Islamic Jihad foreign fighters inspired by the Israel conflict may be encountered at the U.S. southern border. Gives officers instructions on key indicators to look for, including single, military aged males w/ undetermined travel plans.

And once they encounter an agent, count on them saying the magic amnesty words so they're paroled into the country.

I really, really, really don't want to be in a position to say I told you so to this board.
