Tinder: The app that's solving America's biggest problems one at a time. First, it helped a recently divorced Hillary Duff go on awkward dates in her music video for single "Sparks," and now, conservative commentator Ann Coulter suggested the dating app as a potential solution to the country's ongoing struggle with immigration policy.
"I could do it like Tinder," Coulter said jokingly at a book signing hosted by Breitbart News on Tuesday. "I could decide like that about who to admit into this country. I would have it all decided before breakfast," she added.
In case you aren't familiar, the Tinder app allows users to scroll through short profiles of potential suitors on their phones, swiping right if they're interested, and left if they're not.

Coulter continued, "Immigration officials aren't really thinking when they're admitting people into this country. What they consider a hard decision, I consider such an easy decision" — easy as swiping right, apparently.
