The Biden administration’s recent history is a cautionary tale of how technology was weaponized to facilitate a pandemic of illegal immigration, effectively betraying the very citizens it was sworn to protect. The CBP One app served as a beacon of convenience for illegals, allowing over a million migrants to slip into the country masquerading under the ever-elusive banner of “parole.” It’s almost comedic if it weren’t so tragic.
Enter President Trump’s latest brilliance: the CBP Home app. The Department of Homeland Security has pivoted from the CBP One app to this new tool, marking a drastic shift from enabling illegal entry to promoting voluntary self-deportation. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem bluntly noted that the previous administration’s use of technology prioritized aiding illegal entry while this new app aims to bring some semblance of sanity back to immigration policy, reminding everyone that it’s perfectly okay to head home if you’re not here legally.
Here’s how it works: the CBP Home app invites illegal immigrants to self-deport—yes, that’s right, picking up their lives and gallivanting back to the countries they arrived from is now just a few clicks away. If they choose this route, they can even notify DHS of their departure and confirm they’ve arrived safely back in their homeland. Talk about efficiency! If they decide against it, Noem assured the public that DHS would be on the hunt, ready to deport those who decided to stick around unlawfully, eliminating their dreams of ever returning.
If the old app represented an open invitation for rule-breaking, this new one symbolizes a return to law and order. Reflecting on how the mainstream media consistently overlooked the shocking misuse of the CBP One app, one can’t help but chuckle at how quickly they pivoted from praising a tool of chaos to growing silent about its successor. CBS’s amateur fact-checking during the last vice presidential debate highlights this, as they attempted to defend the indefensible. One can only wonder what goes through a media operative’s mind when they ignore glaring realities while trying to prop up the Biden administration’s absurdity.
In the end, regardless of how many illegal immigrants opt to use the new CBP Home app, its rollout represents a significant step away from the blatant disregard for American laws that defined the previous administration’s practices. The app ushers in an era where integrity in immigration policy is not just a buzzword—it’s a tangible promise for the future, one that gives everyone a respectable option while letting law-abiding citizens breathe a little easier.
