July 1, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\nThe Biden administration had launched the app in January as a means for immigrants looking to enter the U.S. to make their appointments at ports of entry before reaching the border crossing in order to be processed quicker into the country. The app also allows other nationals from countries such as Haiti, Venezuela and Cuba to apply and fly directly into the U.S. under \u201chumanitarian parole.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the app was initially launched, the CBP was allowing 1,000 people per day. In June, after the lifting of Title 42, the number was increased to 1,250, and now it has been increased once again.<\/p>\n
Republicans have slammed the Biden administration for its border policy and objected to the use of the CBP One app. The administration has been accused of allowing illegal immigrants into the country utilizing a process that they say is illegal and abuses the agency parole power.<\/p>\n
Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said that the use of the app is a \u201cconcierge service\u201d for migrants, while 18 states have challenged the asylum rule labelling it a \u201ccombination of a half measure and a smoke screen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lawsuit that has been filed by the 18 states argues that the parole policies that are used by the administration, as well as the app, \u201cwill increase the number of unlawful aliens in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
Appointments by the CBP One app are available at eight border crossings; Brownsville, Paso Del Norte in El Paso, Eagle Pass, Hidalgo, and Laredo in Texas; Calexico and San Ysidro in California; and Nogales in Arizona.\u202f<\/p>\n
