Up to 250,000 foreign nationals have entered the country using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) scheduling app launched by the Biden administration as a part of its “new legal pathways” strategy.

According to this data, which the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) obtained from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through a Freedom of Information Act request, 136,000 people came from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, while the rest came from an array of 93 countries, according to CIS senior fellow Todd Bensman.
