Elon Musk Warns of Security Threats from Biden's Immigration Policies

Elon Musk criticized the Biden administration for secretly flying 320,000 unvetted migrants into the US, warning that it could lead to a national security threat worse than 9/11. The administration's immigration agencies have refused to disclose the locations of where these migrants were flown, citing national security vulnerabilities. This comes amid controversy over a secret program to transport migrants using the CBP One app, allowing them to apply for asylum from their home countries. The situation has raised concerns about potential security risks and the administration's handling of immigration.

US Suspends Migrant Phone App Appointments at Texas Border

The US Customs and Border Protection has stopped taking mobile phone app appointments to admit asylum seekers at a Texas border crossing that connects to a notoriously dangerous Mexican city after advocates warned US authorities that migrants were being targeted there for extortion. Migrant advocates say the situation in Nuevo Laredo, which is plagued by cartel fighting and other problems, casts doubt on the administration’s argument that Mexico is a safe place for the record number of people fleeing violence in Central America and elsewhere.

US Suspends Online Asylum Appointments at Texas Border Crossing Over Extortion Threats.

The US has stopped taking mobile app appointments for asylum-seekers at a Texas border crossing that connects to a dangerous Mexican city after advocates warned that migrants were being targeted there for extortion. Mexican officials in Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Laredo, Texas, had threatened to hold them and make them miss their scheduled asylum appointments unless they paid them. The situation in Nuevo Laredo casts doubt on the administration’s argument that Mexico is a safe place for the record number of people fleeing violence in Central America and elsewhere.

Border Arrests Plummet 70% Since End of Title 42, Biden Administration Reports

Unlawful entries along the southern border have decreased 70% from their record highs since the end of Title 42 on May 11, according to the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has averaged 3,400 encounters in between ports of entry per day and fewer than 300 non-CBP One Office of Field Operations (OFO) encounters at ports of entry per day, for a total of approximately 3,700 unscheduled encounters per day. The White House applauded the decrease, while some Republicans expressed skepticism of the CBP One app, saying it would allow mass migration.

New US rules bring anguish to asylum-seekers despite end of Title 42.

Asylum-seekers at the US-Mexico border are uncertain about the new rules introduced by the Biden administration after the end of the public health restriction known as Title 42. The CBP One app, which is the only way to schedule an appointment at a port of entry, has been criticized for technological problems and limited availability. Asylum-seekers fear that they may be deported back to their homelands and barred from seeking asylum for five years if they do not follow the rules. The fate of many people is largely left to the app, which is unable to decipher human suffering or weigh the vulnerability of applicants.

Asylum-seekers face confusion and anguish at US-Mexico border.

Asylum-seekers at the US-Mexico border are uncertain about how the Biden administration's new rules affect them, despite the end of the public health restriction known as Title 42. The CBP One app, which is used to schedule appointments at a port of entry, has been criticized for technological problems and demand has far outstripped the roughly 1,000 appointments available on the app each day. Asylum-seekers say there seems to be no option right now for people to ask for asylum if they don’t have an appointment through the CBP app.

The Harsh Realities of Migrants Waiting at the U.S. Border.

Migrants from various countries are waiting on the Mexican side of the US-Mexico border due to the rule changes implemented by US officials, resulting in a decrease in the number of people arriving at the border. The migrants are waiting for appointments with US border officials to make their case for asylum, but the appointments are limited and highly coveted. The longer they wait, the more vulnerable they become to extortion, kidnapping, and sexual assault. The temporary camps where they are staying are unsanitary and dangerous, with rampant COVID and other illnesses.
