Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

Friend, it’s been a while since we talked about life at the border.  

Title 42 finally ended in May — if you need a refresher, that’s the shameful public health policy that stopped millions of migrants from seeking safety in the US.  

Then, President Biden announced a new asylum ban that blocks even more asylum seekers.  

Here’s where they stand a month and a half later: 

1. Access to asylum is extremely limited. Harsh restrictions leave many without the support they urgently need. 
2. Shelters in Mexico are overwhelmed. Resources are stretched thin, forcing kids to live in dire conditions.  
3. We’re seeing serious threats to asylum seekers’ lives. Many are stranded in unfamiliar places, where they’re vulnerable to kidnapping and violent assaults. 
4. Families are waiting in anguish. Plagued by fear and uncertainty, some migrants report mental health struggles as they face an uncertain future. 

Friend, fleeing home is always a last resort.  

I’ll reach out soon with an opportunity to speak up for asylum seekers — because they need policies that address the root causes of migration and improve the asylum system.  

Not one that forces them to return to imminent danger. 

Thanks for being a voice for kids,

Christy Gleason
