Re: I Am Really Confused
"Does that not, in fact, aid the very same illegal aliens in their efforts to enter and stay the United States, just in a different manner?"
The "very same"? You mean, they hacked into the SharePoint server right before they tried crossing the border on foot, at night, so the CBP would let them go in case they catch them? Or if only those kids separated from their parents would stop crying for one second and hack into the system and send themselves a brand new passport?
Yes, you are definitely very confused.
What has reduced the effectiveness of the agency so far is its own failure to respect laws (though not by as much as it should have, since obeying judges decisions doesn't appear to be its forte).
