[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Can I get an unbiased explanation of the point Vance was trying to make with his immigration fact, checking? Was it that the immigrants came here illegally and not vetted?[/quote]

Vance attempted to mislead about the situation by equating two separate programs. The Haitians in Springfield are legally in the U.S. due to temporary protected status. Vance referred to them as being illegal which is what led to the factcheck. Vance then tried to claim that they were really here under a different program that involves an app and which he and others allege is rife with fraud. Even that second group would be legal, so even if he wasn't discussing the wrong program, Vance would still be wrong to call them illegal. His point, I believe, is that the second program is so filled with holes that those coming here under it are de facto, if not de jure, illegal. [/quote]

When you say app do you mean an application or a literal app like on your phone? I’ve seen the word “app” a couple times which is throwing me off. Thank you.[/quote]

It's an actual phone app that you can download from the iPhone App Store or Google Play Store:

I have to correct one point from my previous post. The app is also used for migrants processed at the border to track them and arrange their court dates and such after they have been paroled into the country. There could be an argument that these individuals are not legal immigrants because they crossed the border without authorization. But, this is entirely separate from the Haitians that were being discussed.
