Majority of illegal immigrants using Biden's mobile app released into US interior

A new report has revealed that the majority of migrants coming across the US southern border who used the Customs and Border Protection app to apply for Title 42 exemptions are being released into the US. 

The Biden administration has heavily promoted the CBP One app as a solution for the crisis at the US southern border as migrants can upload their information and then scheduled an appointment for one of eight Ports of Entry in Arizona California, and Texas. 



CBS reported that the Biden administration is releasing 30,000 foreign nationals into the US interior every month via the mobile app and according to a CBP spokesperson, fewer than 1 percent have been found not to have met the exception criteria. 

The outlet added that over 60,000 migrants have used the app to enter the U.S. since mid-January, most of which originated in Venezuela, Haiti, Russia, Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, Chile, and Brazil. 

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said at a Senate hearing in March that the app is “like a concierge service for illegal immigrants.” 

Senior officials told CBS that the Biden administration is planning to increase the number of migrants allowed to enter the US daily using the app from 740 to 1,000. 

Todd Bensman, a fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies posted on Twitter, "The Biden government has thrown in the towel on its highly vaunted pre-legalization app program for Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Haitians. Now they’re just back to letting them in over the border by the thousands. Into interior America, they tell me." 

He added together with a video of the crisis at the border, “The US government could easily just close this gate and all these thousands would go back to CBP One in Mexico. But instead, most appear to be getting the new fast-track asylum interviews, which end with many released into America, I am told."
