President Trump inherited a stable southern border but opted for chaos, declaring a national emergency and cancelling the CBP One app, which facilitated asylum appointments. This decision exacerbates issues for asylum seekers who now face uncertainty and potential illegal entry as they cannot seek asylum through normal channels. Trump's actions seem politically motivated, prioritizing the exploitation of border issues over constructive management of migrant flows, as evidenced by the emotional pictures of affected asylum seekers flooding social media after the app's cancellation.
For President Donald Trump, inheriting a relatively quiet and orderly southern border with Mexico is a political inconvenience.
Much more telling and immediately consequential, though, was the new administration's decision to shut down the border agency's app, CBP One.
