**Gutting Humanitarian Protections Is Not the Answer to Border
Challenges**

**WASHINGTON D.C. **- As the House Judiciary Committee marks up the
Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023 starting today, the
following is a quote from 

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**:

"This bill would undermine humanitarian protections at the border,
nullify longstanding trafficking protections for unaccompanied children,
and constrain our nation's ability to respond to urgent humanitarian
and national security events such as the Afghanistan evacuation and the
war in Ukraine.

"Enforcement alone will not make our border more secure or orderly.
Congress must provide alternative pathways for people seeking to come to
the U.S. legally and maintain America's longstanding commitment to
humanitarian protections.

"Congress also must prioritize overdue fixes to our legal immigration
system and legislative protections for Dreamers. The vast majority
<[link removed]> of
Republicans, Independents and Democrats alike value America as a place
of refuge and support a combination of solutions for the border,
Dreamers and America's farmers and farmworkers."
