a phone app for asylum.
And on paper, it kind of makes sense, right?
Instead of like, you know, Joe Biden and the Dems are really terrified of the optics of a lot of people at the border.
And a lot of their policy is revolved around stopping that.
They don't want masses of people at the border.
The CBP One app aims to address that by telling migrants, hey, instead of coming all the way to Mexico and showing up at the border, just download this app and schedule an appointment to come here, and we'll vet you to see if you're eligible for asylum or not.
Another example of a policy in Washington DC that has like no reality in what's going on in the border because migrants live in shelters with really bad wifi access and they have crappy phones.
And the story I came out with last week was about how data from the Mexican government shows that at least in Tijuana, about 44% of every migrant who has gotten a CBP1 application to enter the country is a Russian national.
And Russian nationals make up at most 10% of the overall migrant population in Tijuana.

Yeah, little water.
Yeah, yeah, we met up at a Target in my area, because I had already...
