The number of daily appointments has increased from 1,000 to 1,250 at eight land crossings, up from 740 in early May.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll continue to expand appointments at the border as our operations allow in terms of capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<footer>Blas Nu\u00f1ez-Neto, Assistant Secretary for Border and Immigration Policy<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Homeland Security Department\u2019s assistant secretary for border and immigration policy, Blas Nu\u00f1ez-Neto, stated that the increase \u201creflects our commitment to continue to expand lawful options for migrants.\u201d He also called the mobile app, CBP One, a \u201csafe and orderly option\u201d during a visit to Harlingen, Texas.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Pathways for Migrants<\/h3>\n<p>U.S. authorities are trying to funnel people to \u201clegal pathways\u201d like CBP One and parole for up to 30,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans who apply online with a financial sponsor and arrive by air.
