PIEDRAS NEGRAS, MEXICO — Breitbart Texas visits our sister city in Mexico, Eagle Pass, Texas, to track the daily flow of migrants crossing the Camino Real International Bridge using the Biden administration’s CBP One app. I witnessed it. The crossing comes as Texas continues to fortify the area below recently occupied Shelby Park.
The planned border crossings, which occur twice a day without much fuss, are part of a program in which the Biden administration uses humanitarian parole to reduce river and land border crossings between ports of entry, allowing up to 1,450 migrants to cross each day. is accepted.
Breitbart Texas visited the offices of Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) and spoke with officials about the program. A female INM employee declined to provide information about the program, including the number of migrants admitted through the CBP One app and the number of transits. Police officers referred Breitbart, Texas, to the city of Piedras Negras. Grupo Unlace, translated into English as liaison group. This liaison group acts as an intermediary with the INM, coordinating the daily flow of migrants northward into the United States on the Camino Real International Bridge.

In a similar secret way, Grupo Unlace, refused to provide any information about the show. Officials instead encouraged Breitbart Texas to leave the area for operational reasons that would ultimately lead to migrants being directed from Mexico to the United States. A short distance from where the liaison group was operating, the first of two daily crossings of CBP One App immigrants on parole into the United States took place in the early afternoon.
As the video above shows, the first group of about 30 migrants arrived on the journey to Eagle Pass, walking across the bridge above the fort in the city park below. Immigrants remained eerily silent and refused to engage with Breitbart Texas. Several of those who did speak said they were from Colombia and Venezuela. Some stared straight ahead, as if instructed not to talk to the media. In contrast, migrants who land on riverbanks after illegally crossing between ports of entry proudly declare their nationality and, in some cases, unfurl their home country’s flag on the banks of the Rio Grande.
A total of 60 migrants, divided into two groups, cross into the United States each day using the Eagle Pass Camino Real Bridge. Immigrants who spend days and hours online trying to book one of 1,450 available appointments face less serious scrutiny than those who enter the country illegally. Sources within CBP say a reliable fear interview, the most basic litmus test for determining eligibility for asylum, is not part of the vetting process. The source, who is not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas that the only difference between people crossing the bridge and those trying to cross the Rio Grande is one of the 1,450 reservations given each day. He said that it is a matter of luck whether you can receive it well or not.
Eagle Pass’s daily limit of 60 migrants is commensurate with the port of entry’s ability to process migrants with minimal disruption to legitimate trade and travel in this small port. According to CBP, individuals who attend one of eight POEs with a CBP One appointment along the Southwest border (Nogales, Brownsville, Eagle Pass, Hidalgo, El Paso, Calexico, San Ysidro) will be vetted and Processed. This includes biographical and biometric security. Screening and background checks.
Within hours, Thursday’s group of migrants left the Camino Real port of entry and were free to travel anywhere in the United States while their asylum claims were processed. Immigrants paroled into the United States using this application will be immediately eligible to apply for work authorization.
The program, which the Department of Homeland Security calls “legal channels” of entry, is admitting more than 500,000 people a year, surpassing the number of immigration arrests for all of fiscal year 2020, the last full year of President Donald Trump’s term. exceeds. . This program is used to admit immigrants from many countries around the world. CBP officials who spoke to Breitbart Texas said the program utilizes immigrants from outside the hemisphere, as well as Venezuelans, Cubans, Colombians and Haitians. Sources say the system is also used to allow Mexican nationals into the country more frequently than all other nationalities.
One of the possible dividends as compensation to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for the intensified efforts, as border congestion at Eagle Pass continues as a result of increased law enforcement and military operations in Mexico. may be an increase in the number of Mexican immigrants entering the country through the CBP One app.according to central bank of mexicoIn 2023, remittances sent by U.S. immigrants to Mexico totaled more than $63 billion. account of This corresponds to approximately 4% of gross domestic product (GDP).
