**Needed: Appropriate Responses to Border Challenges**

WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, the Biden administration finalized its rule
that would render asylum seekers broadly ineligible for protection in
the United States, with limited exceptions.

In addition, the House may vote soon on a border security bill
<[link removed]>,
and Title 42 is set to end tomorrow.

"First, the administration must seek, and Congress must fund, urgently
needed resources for orderly, humane processing at the border," said 

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.
"Together with security, we must honor our commitment to U.S. and
international law and preserve essential protections for people fleeing
persecution. Restrictions such as those in today's rule likely will
block asylum seekers with valid claims who are turning to the U.S. for
protection.

"The bill the House is considering would severely undermine humanitarian
protections, constrict CBP's ability to set up orderly processing at
the southern border and be onerous to employers, among other concerns.
Proposals to continue simply expelling asylum seekers also are not the
answer.

"Instead, Republicans and Democrats must work together to improve border
and immigration policies realistically and pragmatically. Americans
still want

border and immigration solutions and to welcome people seeking refuge.
Congress has a responsibility to lead.

"We urge everyone responding to challenges at the border to remember and
prioritize migrants' inherent human dignity, and demonstrate
compassion."
