TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - Many migrants have been left stranded in Mexican border cities after the Trump administration immediately canceled tens of thousands of appointments made through a government app called CBP One that offered a legal pathway to the U.S. Some have returned to their countries.

Margelis Rodríguez fled Venezuela with her children. She says the family has no other option but to remain in Tijuana.

The Trump administration has given no indication it plans to replace the Biden administration program.

Good for them, though I'm not sure they will be housed in five-star hotels, get free food, or free healthcare, free cellphones, or free spending money which may be a blow to their egos.

Not exactly. These are people who willingly left their homes in Venezuela or wherever, and traveled to those border cities, in the hopes of illegally entering the U.S.

Blatantly false headline...you can apply for an immigrant VISA at U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez (and other US consulates/embassies I think) (i.e. "the legal pathway"):
