They sure like trying to hide their racism behind "we only want legal migrants" then proceed to close all avenues to get here legally.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not only that...
The app was designed to help legal immigrants make and get immigration appointments without having to illegally cross the border first.
They killed the app, and they also cancelled all upcoming appointments made with the app.
Here we go. They’re going to cry about illegal immigration while making legal systems inaccessible.
Just to be clear this will help create an existential crisis in the US with regards to population.

The CBO report predicts we’ll fall below replacement rate within 8 years. At this point, our labor force will start declining as the population ages. It won’t be a sudden drop, but a decades long slow decline similar to Japan.
No, it will be enforcement theatre, same as it's been for decades. Just now they'll look to end birthright citizenship, where even the children will have no choice but stay in the lowest occupations for fear of deportation. A permanent underclass that can't even buy property legally and can be deported on a whim or just in time to make a headline before an election.
To be clear although getting rid of this without replacing it in any way is horrible this app sucked big time was buggy, caused massive delays no where near meeting demand and so many more things. This app and the system around it was inhuman and awful both practically and humanitarianlly no reason to argue otherwise.
