Biden admin to expand migrant entries via CBP One app to nearly 40K a month
Fox News
The Department of Homeland Security is ramping up the number of migrants it is admitting into the U.S. via its CBP One application to 1,250 a day -- as its asylum rule faces new legal challenges.
The Biden administration has hailed the use of the app, which it expanded in January to allow migrants near the U.S.-Mexico to schedule appointments at the border, as a key part of its strategy to tackle illegal crossings by expanding lawful pathways and opportunities to access them. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
The appointments at the border are in addition to 30,000 migrants who are transported into the U.S. a month via a separate humanitarian parole program for eligible nationals from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti and Venezuela. The administration has also been expanding additional pathways, including a dramatic increase in refugee admissions, and the establishment of migrant processing centers to link migrants to lawful refugee and employment pathways.
