The U.S. is expanding the geographical location from which migrants can legally apply to enter the country from Mexico, something that could reduce transit flows to the southern border.
Concretely, U.S. officials said Saturday that CBP One, the app through which migrants can apply for an appointment with authorities in ports of entry, will now be available from the Mexican states of Chiapas and Tabasco. The amount of appointments granted daily will seemingly remain unchanged at 1,450, as authorities did not announce any changes in that area.
