There are now 1,250 appointment slots to seek asylum at eight land crossings with Mexico through the CBP One app, up from 1,000 previously and 740 in early May.
“It’s not a big deal,” he said. “It’s still very low and not enough for the pent-up demand.”
CBP One is for people of any nationality who apply in central and northern and northern Mexico and enter by land. Carlos Vasquez, 25, reached southern Mexico from Honduras in January with his pregnant wife and their 4-year-old daughter and started trying daily on the app once he was in central Mexico. He became frustrated and, on Monday, began sleeping at the border camp, hoping U.S. officials would take mercy on his family.“We are many and there are few chosen,” he said.
Beatriz Melchor, 47, said she would wait to see if the latest increase has an impact. She has been trying the app for about six weeks with her husband and son and said changes announced in early May have produced no noticeable benefit.
