Washington — Approximately 270,000 migrants are estimated to be waiting on the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexico border, hoping to get an appointment to enter the U.S. through a system that President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end, according to government figures obtained by CBS News.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection estimates that around 270,000 migrants in Mexico are trying to get an appointment distributed by a government app known as CBP One, which the Biden administration has converted into the main gateway to the American asylum system.
As of Jan. 16, nearly 919,000 migrants had been allowed into the U.S. through the CBP One app process.
Demand for CBP One appointments has been extraordinarily high, far exceeding the daily cap of 1,450 the Biden administration placed on appointments. Over the past two years, migrants have attempted to secure an appointment over 166 million times, logging into the app again and again to try their luck, the internal report shows. Wait times typically extend for months due to the high demand.
Because appointments are distributed 21 days in advance of entry dates, roughly 30,000 migrants are currently scheduled to enter the U.S. under the CBP One system in the next three weeks. Appointments have been scheduled through early February, well into the incoming administration.
It's unclear if the Trump administration will honor those appointments. Even if CBP One is terminated, any effort to stop processing migrants at ports of entry would face legal challenges as federal courts have ruled that U.S. refugee law requires officials to process some asylum claimants at these entry points.

Sorry amigos, the piñata grande has left town! You’re going to have to fix your own country. We’re filled up.
“Migrants”!! Such an innocent word that just tugs at the heartstrings.
It better become DAMNED CLEAR tomorrow at noon Eastern Time. That ought to be EO #1 signed at 12:01 pm.
That freakin’ CBP One app needs to me modified to an illegal alien reporting tool so we can tell ICE where they are......it also needs a feature function that allows the device it’s on to be pinged for location.
In the words of Kamel Toe: “Do not come.”
Ending THIS needs to be number one of day one!
Real easy .
Kill the app on Monday .
Bye Invaders .
TFB. Cut off the app.
The illegal aliens need to be launched over the border via trebuchet.
The only migrants that should be allowed into this country are birds.
Good, I hope she goes for it. It will be quite amusing.
Angry illegal:
Tiene que ser verdad. Puedo entrar. Lo vi en mi teléfono. 🤬
English: It has to be true I can get in. I saw it on my phone.
democraps once again concerned about everything but Americans.

“federal courts have ruled that U.S. refugee law requires officials to process some asylum claimants at these entry points”.
No problem. the new number is five, one per day.
Just until the backlog is cleared.
Then it can go to ten, just until all the illegals already here are cleared out.
Then it may go as high as twenty.
Eminently fair after the way Joe and Ho abused this.
