President Trump has called for a major overhaul of the US immigration system, proposing a series of changes to border security and asylum policies. The proposal, which was unveiled in a speech to Congress on Tuesday, aims to increase deportations and tighten rules around who can enter the country.
The plan, which is seen as a key part of Trump's efforts to make good on his campaign promise to build a wall along the US-Mexico border, includes measures such as increased funding for border security and new restrictions on asylum claims. The proposal also includes provisions aimed at reducing the number of people allowed to enter the country on humanitarian grounds.
Meanwhile, airlines are scrambling to update their software in response to a recent technical issue that has left thousands of passengers stranded around the world. The problem, which was identified last week, affects a small but significant portion of commercial air travel systems and has caused delays and cancellations at airports across the globe.
According to industry officials, the issue is related to a combination of hardware and software problems with some airline's communication systems. Several airlines have confirmed that they are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible and are advising passengers to expect further disruptions in the coming days.

. and what's with this tech issue on planes? thousands of people stuck on the ground cuz some software ain't working right... how do airlines not test that stuff before launch?! 
i feel so bad for those people who are already going through so much. can't we just find a way to help ppl instead of making it harder for them to come to the us? 
this is so messed up - thousands of ppl stranded cuz of airline tech issues, can u imagine being stuck on a plane w/o any idea when u'll b able to fly again? 
meanwhile, trumps immigration plan is all about buildin that wall, but what about the ppl who need asylum or are just tryin to make a new life 4 themselves? 
. I mean, I remember when my grandparents came to this country, they just showed up at the doorstep and were like "hello, we're here" 
. Nowadays it's all about paper work and quotas... what happened to good ol' American hospitality? 
. I know some people are worried about security, but I think we should be focusing on buildin' bridges instead of walls 
. We need to find a way to help those folks who are tryin' to make a better life for themselves, not just send 'em packin' 
.
and have you guys seen the airline tech issue? thousands of ppl stranded i feel so bad for them 
As for airlines, ugh, I hate dealing with flight delays 
.
. And what's with all this emphasis on deportations? Are we really that afraid of ppl who are just trying to start a new life? 
thousands of passengers stuck in airports cuz of some tech issue? that sounds super stressful 
. Increased deportations and stricter rules? It's like they're trying to make life even harder for people already struggling 
. They need to get their act together and update that software ASAP 
. Can't we all just take a deep breath and work together on these issues instead of making things worse 
?
. Meanwhile, the number of deportations under Obama's administration was around 2.5 million 
It's like, we should be a country that takes in people who need help, not pushes them away... I just hope our lawmakers will do some actual listening to both sides instead of just following the president's lead 
.
. And now they're talking about tightening up asylum rules? That's just cruel. I mean, who knows what their situation is? They might be fleeing for their lives and then get denied entry... not cool. And on top of that, Trump's wall thing? It's just gonna make things worse, mark my words... 
airlines are already stressing about it... hope they can get it sorted out ASAP
