Sure Jan. :roll:
Jersey Girl, hope you are doing okay. By the way I recently spent some time in New Jersey for the first time this past summer. In Hammonton. It is really a beautiful area, I never envisioned Jersey this way. I was by myself and I rented a Mustang and drove up to the coast to NY, and had a blast.

Take care.
What road did you take up the coast?

I'm not sure, I would have to look. There were lots of Trees' and lots of toll stops, I just drove. I went from Hammonton to the shores (Hard Rock) several times and took different ways and side roads, and I got lost several times. I went up the 9 some, but that was less scenic and it seemed LA-ish in spots, a few very rough looking areas. One day, with family, we went up to Statue of Liberty, that was really fun...Ellis Island was awesome, and the 911 memorial was very Hallowed.

I was up there to say good by to my brother who was in the last stages of cancer, so when he needed rest time I would just take off and drive around for hours. I never knew there were so many trees in one area, but duh, the Garden State ain't no lie. I went back for his funeral a few weeks later and spent some time in Philadelphia; that was fun! I had a cheese steak at Pat's, and did a Rocky imitation running up the steps. I walked downtown and the architecture was amazing, especially the Masonic Temple, as a builder it just blew me away, you just don't see it here on the west coast.

I ate the best Italian food I ever had in Hammonton, and maybe the worse Mexican food I have ever had also, their beans are runny like soup, gross. I ate sandwiches at WaWa's which I enjoyed for a quick bite, and lots of big blue berry's :)

Cakes, I really thought you knew what is meant by the term open border, I see now I was wrong. So I will assume you believe there should be Immigration laws. Given that, and moving forward...we have laws. So, why is it wrong to enforce them?

From wiki, it is as good a definition as any.

An open border is a border that enables free movement of people (and often of goods) between jurisdictions with no restrictions on movement and is lacking substantive border control.[1][2] A border may be an open border due to intentional legislation allowing free movement of people across the border (de jure), or a border may be an open border due to a lack of legal controls, a lack of adequate enforcement or adequate supervision of the border (de facto). An example of the former is the Schengen Agreement between most members of the European Economic Area (EFTA and the EU). An example of the latter has been the border between Bangladesh and India, which is becoming controlled. The term "open borders" applies only to the flow of people, not the flow of goods and services,[3] and only to borders between political jurisdictions, not to mere boundaries of privately owned property.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_border

I think Mark has a kind of script, perhaps entitled "How to own the libtards on immigration". On it, there is a list of questions he has to ask you in the right order. and one of them is "Do you think we should have immigration laws?" .

If you just burst out laughing when he asks you that, and don't deign to give him an answer, he doesn't know what to do next. So he has to keep on asking until you answer and then he can put a tick on his form and move on to the next one, and then the next and so on, leading up to your inevitable outing as a perverse America hater or whatever.

Well, he won't answer the questions posed to him and he started it, so that's why I don't answer. All the fentanyl crisis stuff came as a response to Jersey Girl's mass deportation thread. But nothing he said then or since then is even remotely a motivation to mass deport people.

It should be really simple. There was a South Park episode 20 years ago when similar immigration concerns were swirling that everyone remembers as the "They took our jobs!" episode. If Mark would say, we need mass deportations because illegals are taking our jobs, then I would say, "Oh okay, thank you for finally answering, that does make basic logical sense," and then I would answer his question about open borders.
