The CBP One App: A Phone App for Asylum
CBP one is essentially a phone app for asylum. In Tijuana, about 44% of every migrant who has gotten a CBP one application to enter the country is a Russian national. So you have this situation where a relatively affluent 10% of the population is getting almost half of these humanitarian protection appointments that are designed for the world's most vulnerable people. That's an example of a policy in Washington DC that has like no reality in what's going on the border because migrants live in shelters with really bad Wi-Fi access and they have crappy phones.
