Computer Glitch Temporarily Secures Texas Border

A blue wall will save our country.

The CrowdStrike IT failure from last week has apparently done a better job of securing our border than any politician or legislation has.

FEDSCOOP:

The U.S. government continues to deal with the aftermath of the CrowdStrike IT failure Friday that created major issues for businesses around the world and impacted many federal institutions, ranging from the agency that handles critical immigration services to a network used to help facilitate organ transplants. 

The only thing stopping an illegal from entering our border. A big beautiful blue wall.

Since it’s a presidential election year, Governor Abbott has ramped up the border security rhetoric where he claims he’s going to secure the border for realsies this time.

We fact-checked his RNC speech from last week. You can check that out here:

An individual employed within the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told FedScoop that the Department of Homeland Security component might take more than a week to bring some systems back online. While USCIS’s primary and public-facing systems weren’t majorly impacted, the person said, workstations require some time to be fixed and can’t be updated remotely. The agency was still able to function, but at least 5,000 workstations were taken offline, the source added. 

There you have it. A secure border for about a week.

Thanks Crowdstrike!
