Donald Trump Vows to Terminate Harris’ ‘Phone App for Smuggling’ Migrants
Emma Marsden, Newsweek, September 15, 2024
In a statement posted online, Donald Trump has vowed to dismantle what he claims is a phone application developed under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ administration to facilitate illegal immigration.
Trump singled out Harris, alleging that her office is directly involved in the creation of what he called a “Phone App for Smuggling” migrants into the U.S.
In the statement posted to his Truth Social account, he wrote: “As President I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration). I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America. MAGA2024!”
Trump pointed to what he sees as an overall failure of the administration’s immigration policies. He has repeatedly accused Biden and Harris, who was appointed to oversee border-related issues, of weakening security and creating incentives for illegal immigration.
The app that Trump referred to is the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mobile application CBP One, launched in 2020. {snip}
