Hi! Good question!

In addition to it being their responsibility to be a check and balance due to being a co-equal branch of government, specifically the article 1 branch in charge of the nation’s purse, they’re also entitled to unannounced access to any DHS facility specifically from the Appropriations law passed by Congress itself as a condition to monies disbursed for the purpose of detention or housing of “illegal aliens” (legal wording, not mine).

In order to enforce this right of oversight, usually a subpoena or command would be enough, however anticipating an article 2 body preventing the exercise of legal oversight, the house would be within their right to have the US House Sergeant at Arms accompany them to the appropriate facility they were interested in accessing and could invoke detention for inherent contempt of Congress.

Your decision to witting or unwittingly strawman the argument is noted and ignored.

Wise move. I did the same years ago. Prepare for some serious survivors guilt. The best way to handle it is to know you made the best decision for your child.

Don’t tell them they’re taking the wrong action, tell them they’re taking the right action at the wrong time.

The key to getting more 3rd party support is to start 4 years ago, right after the last major election. The second best time to start is today, right after a major election. The WORST time to start supporting a third party candidate is right before a major election in a swing state with no party presence. Tell them to get to work. They won’t get to be another major party, and they won’t change the electoral system, but they can scare a major party into adopting one, maybe two of their policy positions. Sorry but that’s just the best you can hope for if you’re trying to change the system by voting.

Oops, looks like this editor missed it too. It’s spelled r-a-p-e. Easy mistake to make apparently.
