The Biden-Harris administration announced on Monday that it will expand the controversial CBP One App irregular immigration program to make it even easier for migrants to enter the United States. The expansion of the program, never authorized by Congress, will enable migrants near Mexico’s southern border to enter the United States.
“Migrants will soon be able to also schedule appointments from the states of Tabasco and Chiapas—enabling them to make appointments without having to travel all the way north to do so,” Biden-Harris administration officials with U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a written statement on Monday.
“We consistently engage with our partners in the Government of Mexico and work together to adjust policies and practices in response to the latest migration trends and security needs,” CBP stated.
In June, the latest statistics available from CBP, nearly 42,000 migrants used the CBP One App to make appointments to enter the U.S., according to the monthly update provided by the agency.
