Government parole and appointment systems (like CBP One and CHNV) can be used not only to process migrants but to change where crossings occur — moving encounters into official ports of entry to alter public visibility and accountability. That shift can mask uncontrolled border crossings while increasing administrative releases into the interior with limited vetting.
— If parole/appointment programs are systematically used to relocate crossings to ports of entry, that alters enforcement outcomes, legal responsibilities, and public debate about border control and immigration policy.
