The Biden-Harris administration announced Saturday that it plans to expand the areas in Mexico where foreign nationals can schedule an appointment online to make an asylum claim at a port of entry, the Associated Press reported.
The Customs and Border Protection’s CBP One application, launched under the current administration in its effort to expand so-called legal pathways, allows foreign nationals to request an appointment before reaching the southern border. After surrendering to Border Patrol agents at a designated entry point, they are typically released into the U.S. on their own recognizance with little vetting while awaiting years-out court hearings to review the validity of their asylum claims.
