Ah! So here we have the classic strawman logical fallacy with a smattering of a Red Herring Fallacy. It’s a strawman because , rather than dealing with the argument that I made- that the OP is lying about the Biden Admin circumventing the immigration process and secretly whisking people into the country- go on to address an argument that I did not make. Like the red herring it is intended to try to get the other party to forget what the debate was really aboutLet’s recap.
Before you hope to lecture anyone, you should take the time to understand the subject matter.
Fleeing for Your Life? There’s An App for That.
The Biden administration has replaced key elements of our 50-year-old asylum system with “CBP One,” a smartphone application.www.texasmonthly.com
“CBP One also has muddled the asylum process. At no point does the app ask users “Are you seeking asylum?” Those arriving for the CBP One appointments are given no interviews and asked no questions about vulnerabilities they listed in the app or about why they’re seeking asylum in the U.S.—they’re simply released into the country on official parole.”
Massive Spending Bill Includes $785 Million to Feed, House, and Transport Migrants
In the spending bill President Biden signed yesterday is the transfer of $800 million from CBP to the FEMA, $785 million of which will go “to support sheltering and related activities” for illegal border-crossers.cis.org
Having said all of that, I will address the CBP One issue. For starters, I have to wonder what you’re bitching about since CBP one has the effect, intended or not of limiting the ability of people to seek asylum. Afterall, you don’t strike me a being a big fan of immigration
While you suggest that I do not understand the issue, it is clear that you are the one lacking comprehension. The CBP one system-however flawed, is a god faith attempt to each the crush at the boarder, and to give asylum seekers an chance to gain legal entry
Furthermore you post a quote alleging that the app does not ask people why they are vulnerable among other deficiencies, and try to support that with a link that is purportedly the DHS but clearly is not. It is clearly propaganda about alleged open border policy and railing against the cost of immigration.. Pretty damned sleazy on your part and that of the creator of the site
Lastly, here is a more honest assessment of the app than presented by a local Texas publication

The administration had announced it would expand its use of CBP One, giving asylum seekers direct access to enter their information as a pre-screening step before an appointment. Launched in 2020, the app has previously been used to allow people crossing legally at land ports of entry to submit their information beforehand and for non-governmental organizations to request humanitarian entry for certain migrants.
And from the same link
The app rollout comes after Biden last week announced his administration would expand COVID-era "Title 42" restrictions to quickly expel Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans who cross the border back to Mexico while opening up legal pathways for those who have U.S. sponsors and enter by air.
So no ,the border is not open., I am so sick of that lie
What else ya got Kid??
