Also filmed in a state of despair was Cuban migrant Yaime Perez, who had hoped to use the CBP One app to cross into the United States and seek asylum.

CBP One was used by the Biden administration to help expedite migrants entry into the US and was used by an estimated one million people since being created.

The Democrats never cry over the Cubans who risk shark-infested waters to come here. The Dems made sure they’re sent back.
