The Biden administration has announced plans to expand the areas in southern Mexico where migrants can apply online for appointments to enter the United States, in an effort to alleviate pressure on the Mexican government and enhance safety for individuals seeking asylum at the U.S. border.
Migrants from the states of Chiapas and Tabasco will now be able to schedule appointments through the CBP One app, extending the reach beyond northern and central Mexico. This decision comes in response to a request from Mexico, which has been working closely with the U.S. to manage the significant influx of migrants.
