EAGLE PASS, Texas — Migrants crossing the southern border illegally are trashing their documents that confirm their appointments for legal entry through the Biden administration’s CBP One program, according to migrants interviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Migrants crossing the southern border illegally into the U.S. told the DCNF that the CBP One entry program isn’t working for them because of the wait times and problems in Mexico. The Biden administration began use of CBP One for migrants to enter the U.S. legally by booking appointments on a phone application amid a surge in illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“It didn’t work,” one migrant from Venezuela told the DCNF.
A woman from Ecuador said the police in Mexico told her family that they didn’t qualify for CBP One appointments.
“They robbed us a lot. They put their hands on me. They were frisking me and taking all my money,” a woman from the group said.
Meanwhile, CBP One appointment documents that had been ripped up were scattered across the border in Eagle Pass.
“Yes, I have it here. Everyday, nothing showed up. Nothing would show up no matter how many times you’d apply,” one Venezuelan woman said, regarding the app.
In August alone, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processed 45,400 migrants using the app, according to the agency. The number of illegal migrants in Border Patrol custody nationwide surpassed 22,000 on Tuesday evening, according to internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
CBP One offers migrants who enter through the program the ability to apply immediately for an employment authorization document, which allows them to legally work in the U.S., according to DHS.
“It didn’t work,” another Venezuelan man said.
Migrants said that they didn’t have the patience or money to support themselves while waiting months for appointments.
“It took too long,” a female Venezuelan said.
“We’ve been waiting for two months and nothing, people don’t have the money. People don’t have money and have waited for a long time,” one man from Peru said.
Along with the CBP One program, the Biden administration has afforded migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua the ability to fly to the U.S. via a humanitarian parole program, which permits 30,000 entries per month. The program requires the migrants to have a U.S. sponsor.
Another man from Venezuela said that he tried using the app for one month, but nothing worked.
“It doesn’t show an appointment,” a Venezuelan man said. “An appointment doesn’t show, it’s taking too long, I’ve been here for a month.”
CBP didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
