Texas AG Sues Biden Administration For “Illegally Pre-Approving” Migrants Through Use Of Mobile App

On Tuesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit against President Joe Biden’s administration for “illegally pre-approving” migrants to enter the United States, through a mobile app, that Paxton argues encourages illegal immigration. The app, the lawsuit states, is “inviting illegal aliens into Texas”.

Earlier this month, after Title 42 ended, the Biden administration published a new rule that requires asylum-seekers to apply for protection in any safe third country, before they arrive in the United States. However, migrants can use an easily downloadable mobile app to circumvent the administration’s new rule. It is literally designed to promote illegal immigration.

According to a report by CBS News, Biden’s administration plans to increase the number of migrants it allows to enter the country daily through the mobile app from 740 to 1,000. Biden has literally set up a rule that he and his administration are circumventing. He can claim to be processing migrants with restrictions, all while deceitfully assisting them to circumvent the rules altogether.

AG Paxton, in his suit, claims that the Biden administration has-

“deliberately conceived of this phone app with the goal of illegally pre-approving more foreign aliens to enter the country and go where they please once they arrive.”…“Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, and the entire Biden Administration have prioritized creating and protecting new ways for illegal aliens to stream into this country, no matter the cost or consequence to struggling American citizens. Time after time, my office has shown that we will fight back in court to defeat their unlawful open-borders policies. We intend to stop this rule from wreaking further havoc on the people of Texas.”

According to a report by Breitbart-

“The mobile app, known as Customs and Border Protection (CBP) One, entices foreign nationals living in Mexico who are pregnant, mentally ill, elderly, disabled, homeless, or crime victims to schedule an appointment with agents at the border in the hopes of being released into American communities.”

“Foreign nationals in Mexico can submit their application for an appointment through the CBP One app up to 14 days in advance and then show up at eight Ports of Entry in Arizona, Texas, and California for their appointment.”

However, defending the app, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson, argued that it provides a-

“safe, orderly, and humane way” to process migrants…adding…“Lawful pathways like making an appointment to appear at a port of entry using the CBP One app allow us to process migrants in a safe, orderly, and humane way and reduce unlawful immigration. This is particularly critical at a time when Congress has failed to reform our broken immigration system,”

-DHS Spokesperson

According to the lawsuit-

[the mobile app] “works in conjunction with the Administration’s expanded parole policies and processes to expedite and streamline the processing of aliens at the border and move them into the country more quickly,”…“By inviting illegal aliens into Texas, Defendants will inflict costs on the State for public education, law enforcement and incarceration, unreimbursed health care, and other public services for illegal aliens,”

"To complaints of a job poorly done, one often hears the excuse, 'I am not responsible.' I believe that is literally correct. The man who takes such a stand in fact is not responsible; he is irresponsible. "
