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.

As discussed before, a terrorist trying to sneak in via the asylum system is going to get caught. It would be stupid. Better to avoid getting caught, and dodge BP. That sort of crossing still likely happens, and would be a terrorist's best shot at getting in. - 1pg

But under the new rules, his odds of success by sneaking thru are greatly reduced, never zero, but near zero, because why? Because under the bill, border control resources will be deployed to count all of them in order to administer the triggers. Right?

This is one of the main features that allows me to support the rumored bill. But I remain skeptical of Biden's motives. As Tim Scott says, there is nothing the bill that forces him to follow the new law. Why would he do this, because he has no principled interest in reducing immigration, legal or illegal, and he will exploit any opening he has to keep it flowing.

The thing is, no matter how bad Joe abuses the system for another year, Trump will use the tools aggressively and cleanup Biden's mess and then some.
