How the CB One App offers asylum to anyone in the world

J.D. Vance brought up the topic of the CB One application during his debate with Tim Walz. The majority of Americans were largely unaware that the federal government has been operating a special app to fast-track asylum status to migrants throughout the world.

The app was first launched in October 2020, designated as a single portal to Customer and Border Protection (CBP). However, in January 2023, the Biden-Harris administration repurposed the app to streamline the process of permitting migrants into the country. “So there’s an application called the CBP One app where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years. That is the facilitation of illegal immigration,” Vance said on the debate stage.

Between June 2023 and June 2024, over 170,000 migrants accessed CBP One to quickly enter the United States. Haitians, Mexicans, and Venezuelans have been the primary users of this app. The app saw 1,450 appointments per day in June, a 50% uptick from the month prior. Anyone from any nation can simply sign up, enter America, and receive their free taxpayer-subsidized life.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has not detailed the cost of creating or operating the app, despite questions from politicians like Senator Josh Hawley. “Under your leadership, the Department is marketing a new phone app, called CBP One, that allows unauthorized migrants to reserve a time to cross the border, like making a restaurant reservation. How convenient,” wrote Senator Hawley. He continued, “I imagine there are plenty of Americans who would appreciate this level of service from their government. Your choice to spend untold sums of taxpayer money—you said you had no idea what it cost—on concierge service for illegals is baffling. It is also revealing. It demonstrates your priorities: open borders, no matter the cost to Americans; no matter the jobs lost, the wages lost, the drugs flooding our schools.”

The truth is that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have no budget when it comes to the migrants as they will spend everything and then some to flood America with illegal migrants. Then they turn around and say they’ve run out of funds for their own citizens who have been paying into the system their entire lives. CBP One is like an Open Table reservation app that lets absolutely anyone come to America to leech off our resources.

Ireland to pay migrant families €10,000 to drop asylum claims, leave country

Published on October 1, 2025

Quick Hit:

The Irish government will now pay migrant families up to €10,000 if they agree to abandon asylum claims and leave the country. Officials say the program is cheaper for taxpayers than drawn-out asylum cases or costly deportations.

Key Details:

  • Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan signed an order raising the “voluntary return” payout to €2,500 per individual and €10,000 per family.
  • The policy targets those with questionable asylum claims who are awaiting judgment and have no criminal record.
  • Ireland’s move follows similar programs in Sweden and Germany, which have seen some success in reducing asylum applications and voluntary departures.

Diving Deeper:

The Republic of Ireland is escalating its efforts to manage a surge in migration, offering financial incentives for migrants to leave. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has authorized an increase in the voluntary return grant, raising payments to €2,500 ($2,900) for individuals and €10,000 ($11,700) for families who withdraw their asylum applications and exit the country.

This nearly doubles the previous allowances of €1,500 per individual and €6,000 per family. The scheme is aimed specifically at those awaiting decisions on asylum claims, provided they have not committed crimes while residing in Ireland.

The government has argued that the payouts, while sizable, will ultimately reduce the financial strain on Irish taxpayers. According to the Department of Justice, each asylum seeker costs the state about €122,000 ($143,000) over the course of the process, covering housing, food, and various social benefits. In contrast, even large lump-sum payments are expected to be cheaper than long-term state support—or deportation flights, such as a recent €325,000 ($381,000) operation to repatriate 35 migrants to Nigeria.

Ireland’s plan is not without precedent. Sweden currently offers €5,000 ($5,900) to those who voluntarily return home, and its government is considering expanding payouts up to €30,000 ($35,000) for welfare-dependent migrants. Germany has also reported success, with more than 8,000 failed asylum seekers leaving voluntarily under its incentive program last year.

The Irish government’s decision comes amid mounting pressure over migration. Since 2006, Ireland’s migrant population has doubled to more than one million, meaning one in five residents is foreign-born. The rapid demographic shift has fueled tensions, with rising concerns over crime, wage stagnation, and social cohesion.

1 dead, 2 injured after shooting at Dallas ICE facility

An ‘anti-ICE’ message was written on one of the rounds discovered near the shooter’s body, according to an image posted by FBI Director Kash Patel.

Just two weeks after the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a sniper’s bullet, one person was shot dead Wednesday morning by a “possible sniper” outside a Dallas ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) facility. At least two others were injured.

The shooter, who had positioned himself on a nearby rooftop, died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

According to early reports, none of the killed or injured are ICE agents.

FBI Director Kash Patel posted to X an image of rounds allegedly found by the shooter’s body, one of which included an “anti-ICE” message.

“This is the third shooting in Texas directed at ICE or CBP [Border Patrol]. This must stop,” said Sen. Ted Cruz.

“To every politician who is using rhetoric demonizing ICE and demonizing CBP – stop. To every politician demanding that ICE agents be doxxed and calling for people to go after their families – stop. This has very real consequences.”

Vice President JD Vance said, “The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop. I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.”

On July 4, a police officer was shot in the neck at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, southwest of Dallas.  Eleven people have been charged in connection with that attack.

On August 25, a 36-year-old man was arrested for making a bomb threat against the Dallas ICE facility where Wednesday morning’s shooting took place.
