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.

That bill would allow up to 5,000 illegals a day to cross into our country before extraordinary measures could be employed to temporarily close the border.

BHM, up you are absolutely wrong.

The proposed border bill DID NOT allow up to 5,000 illegals a day to cross into our country.

No doubt, you either heard Trump claim this or perhaps your favorite news channel.

Here’s a hint: if either a pathological liar or a news channel that voluntarily paid out three-quarters of a billion dollars for lying makes a claim, then perhaps you should take it with a grain of salt.

Because repeating a lie from these sources will make you look like a fool.

Below is a link that explains what was actually in the bill. A bill that one of the most conservative senators thought was a good bill.

What's become a popular talking point among conservative Republicans opposed to an emerging immigration bill is incorrect. Here's what it would do.

And a few more links in case you’re too lazy to do your own thinking and research.
