I wonder if you would be saying the same thing if this was happening under a republican administration
I would be saying the same thing, even if a Republican was in office....though I probably wouldn't really give this topic much attention either because glitches are common in the tech world.

People.."glitches" happen with automated software.

These were USCIS applications. Not automated. Someone had to look over the application and process it.

There is a boatload of paperwork that must be submitted with NEW applications which a human must verify and then accept.

Well if that is the case, then it would mean someone isn't doing their job correctly, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was automated software of some kind. Regardless, glitches happen, not really something anyone should freak out about.

Sure seems to be a lot more in Govt than private sector. If I wrote code like that I wouldn't be employed.

Glitch usually equals covering up someone's F-up.

Then there must be a lot of people getting fired at Microsoft, Samsung, Adobe, and Google all the time because it seems like I am always dealing with their glitches.

You did not have to go any further...(the bold part)


But really, do you think something this important would be automated?

You just don't see how convenient the timing is do you?

The problems are not "glitches" as the WH claims. The problem just might be what programmers are told to do. Isn't that a possibility???




Oh it had to be a glitch, the Judge was already mad about being lied too.
A new excuse was in order.
