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.

And yet there are still people who want to lie and gaslight and claim that the border isn't wide open. What is left to say? Liars gonna lie.

foxnews.com - Southern border record number migrant encounters single day thousands flood into texas

BBbbbbbbuttt it's Fox news!

Pictures don't lie.

Southern border hit by record number of migrant encounters in a single day as thousands flood into Texas
The 12,600 encounters is a new daily record for the border

The besieged U.S. southern border saw a record number of migrant encounters in a single day on Monday, as thousands flooded into Eagle Pass, Texas, amid a broader surge in recent weeks that has left authorities overwhelmed.

There were over 12,600 migrant encounters on Monday, Customs and Border Protection sources told Fox. That does not include the thousands still waiting for processing in the Del Rio Sector on Monday evening after a surge of migrants into Eagle Pass. The number includes over 11,000 illegal immigrant apprehensions and over 1,600 encountered at ports of entry.

At some point even left wingers have to ask themselves, "Who benefits from all this?"
