O governo Biden expandirá as áreas onde migrantes podem agendar online suas entradas nos EUA, abrangendo agora o sul do México, especificamente Chiapas e Tabasco. A iniciativa visa aliviar tensões no México e reduzir os perigos enfrentados pelos migrantes ao tentar chegar à fronteira dos EUA para solicitar asilo.
Esta expansão, solicitada pelo governo mexicano, evita que os migrantes precisem viajar para o norte do México, oferecendo 1.450 consultas diárias através do aplicativo CBP One.
As relações mais próximas entre os EUA e o México resultaram em uma queda significativa nas travessias ilegais, com prisões na fronteira caindo 30% em julho.
Desde janeiro de 2023, mais de 680.000 consultas foram agendadas pelo CBP One, com maior participação de venezuelanos, cubanos e haitianos.
