The official app to register to enter the U.S. underwent changes this week, as it offers appointments for migrants to enter through land crossings. Many migrants in northern Mexico resigned themselves to waiting for an appointment rather than approaching the border without authorization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope it\u2019s a little better and that the appointments are streamlined a little more,\u201d said Yeremy Depablos, 21, a Venezuelan traveling with seven cousins who has been waiting in Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez for a month. Fearing deportation, Depablos did not want to cross illegally. \u201cWe have to do it the legal way.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>New Legal Pathways for Migrants<\/h3>\n<p>The legal pathways touted by the Biden administration consist of a program that permits up to 30,000 people a month from Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter if they apply online with a financial sponsor and enter through an airport. About 100 processing centers are opening in Guatemala, Colombia and elsewhere for migrants to apply to go to the U.S., Spain or Canada. Up to 1,000 can enter daily through land crossings with Mexico if they snag an appointment on the app.<\/p>\n<p>If it works, the system could fundamentally alter how migrants come to the southern border. But Biden, who is running for reelection, faces withering criticism from migrant advocates, who say he\u2019s abandoning more humanitarian methods, and from Republicans, who claim he\u2019s soft on border security. Two legal challenges already loom over the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/court-order-to-reimplement-remain-in-mexico-could-prove-ineffective\/\" title=\"Court Order To Reimplement \u2018Remain in Mexico\u2019 Could Prove Ineffective\">asylum restrictions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on Migrants<\/h3>\n<p>While Title 42 prevented many from seeking asylum, it carried no legal consequences for expulsion like those under the new rules. In El Paso on Friday, a few dozen migrants lingered outside Sacred Heart Catholic Church and shelter, on streets where nearly 2,000 migrants were camped as recently as Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa L\u00f3pez, executive director for Diocesan Migrant and Refugee Services at El Paso, said many migrants have been willing to follow the legal pathway created by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/better-than-expected-u-s-economy-added-638000-jobs-in-october-unemployment-dropped-to-6-9\/\" title=\"Better Than Expected: U.S. Economy Added 638,000 Jobs in October, Unemployment Dropped to 6.9%\">federal government<\/a>, but there is also fear about deportation and possible criminal penalties for people who cross the border illegally. Border holding facilities in the U.S. were already far beyond capacity in the run-up to Title 42\u2019s expiration.<\/p>\n<p>In Florida, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/clinton-appointed-judge-blocks-desantis-on-penalizing-big-tech-for-censorship\/\" title=\"Clinton-Appointed Judge Blocks DeSantis On Penalizing Big Tech For Censorship\">federal judge appointed<\/a> by former President Donald Trump has temporarily halted the administration\u2019s plans to release people into the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it would comply, but called it a \u201charmful ruling that will result in unsafe overcrowding\u201d at migrant processing and detention facilities. A court date has been scheduled on whether to extend the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Migrant-rights groups also sued the Biden administration on allegations that its new policy is no different than one adopted by Trump \u2014 and rejected by the same court. The Biden administration says its policy is different, arguing that it\u2019s not an outright ban but imposes a higher burden of proof to get asylum and that it pairs restrictions with other newly opened legal pathways.<\/p>\n<p>At the Chaparral port of entry in Tijuana on Friday, a few migrants approached U.S. authorities after not being able to access the appointment app. One of them, a Salvadoran man named Jairo, said he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chaos-on-mexico-border-averted-for-now-as-us-turns-page-in-migration-rules\/\" title=\"US migration rules change, preventing chaos on Mexico border.\">fleeing death threats back home<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are truly afraid,\u201d said Jairo who was traveling with his partner and their 3-year-old son and declined to share his last name. \u201cWe can\u2019t remain any longer in Mexico and we can\u2019t go back to Guatemala or El Salvador. If the U.S. can\u2019t take us, we hope they can direct us to another country that can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EL PASO, Texas (AP) \u2014 The U.S. turned the page on pandemic-era immigration restrictions with relative calm at its border with Mexico as migrants adapted to strict new rules aimed at discouraging illegal crossings and awaited the promise of new legal pathways for entering the country.
