Migrants in Mexico made over 64 million official requests to enter the United States through an app created by the Biden administration as a way to organize asylum requests at the southern border, CBS reported on Tuesday.

Out of the total requests, nearly 450,000 have been allowed into the country --barely 0.7%-- through the process started in the app in a little over its first year of use.
