Send More Asylum Officers, Not Troops, to the Border
WASHINGTON D.C. - With the Biden administration planning to send
1,500 troops to the border as part of its response to migration
challenges, the following is a quote fromÂ
**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**:
"We need Republicans and Democrats to work together on solutions for the
challenges at the border and for immigration more broadly. Sending
troops to the border is not the answer. We've seen this before, and it
has been ineffective and impractical. It also sends the message that
migrants are a threat, when the vast majority are seeking safety.
"The president and Congress should send additional asylum officers and
immigration judges to the border, not troops. Our values guide us to
prioritize migrants' human dignity together with our security.
That's also what Americans want

Last week the Alliance for a New Immigration Consensus, a coalition of
nearly 40 faith, business, agriculture, education, national security and
advocacy organizations, also weighed in
<[link removed]>Â on
the need for border solutions.
