The announcement on the change created immediate confusion among migrants already at the border and for many of the shelters in Sonora that serve them.
Danyelle Khmara Meyling holds in tears as she and her partner, who have been at the border in Sonora for a month, question whether they’re going to get a chance to ask for asylum in the U.S. for themselves and their three young children.
The U.S. could expel 30,000 people from those countries to Mexico a month, and at the same time 30,000 people a month from those countries would be allowed to come into the U.S., but only if they applied for the program before making the trip to the border. Meyling and her family left Nicaragua because of the economic crisis and violence, and they can’t go back, she says.
On Wednesday, Meyling was asking the same question many had — how could she apply for the new program from her home country when she was already at the border?One is the Alternate Travel Initiative, which includes migrants from Ukraine and Venezuela and just expanded to include migrants from Haiti, Nicaragua and Cuba.
After passing background checks, eligible migrants would be allowed to live and work temporarily in the U.S. and could apply for asylum. People can apply through the CBP One app if they attest that they or their family member qualify for at least one of six reasons, which include having a physical or mental illness, having a disability, being pregnant, not having access to safe housing or shelter in Mexico, being under the age of 21 or over 70, or having been threatened or harmed while in Mexico.
The ability to make an appointment from an app rather than waiting at a port of entry will likely make it easier and safer for people, says Bonnie Arellano, supervisory program manager for admissibility with the Tucson Field Office. “It's a step in the right direction in the sense that it allows an individual to submit their case to the government rather than them being dependent on another organization or actor,” she said.
What the programs will look like hereThe Kino Border Initiative is helping people who come to them in Nogales, Sonora, navigate the app, which went live on Thursday, Williams says. Appointments for the next two weeks opened Thursday morning, and a significant number of migrants were able to get one. “The Biden administration theoretically was going to end Title 42 because there's no public health justification for it,” she said. “This instead, using it more and more as an approach to border management, is an unsustainable tool. Congress didn’t pass this law with this intention. And so it's continuing to use more of a bandage approach that causes real harm to the families that are expelled into limbo in Mexico.
