Hemispheric Summit Offers Opportunity to Balance Security and Compassion
on Migration

Washington, D.C. - On Friday, President Biden and other Western
Hemisphere leaders will gather for the Americas Partnership for
Economic Prosperity Leaders' Summit
 to discuss
ways to tackle the underlying economic drivers of irregular
migration across the Americas.  

The meeting at the White House will follow a regional
summit Mexico hosted Oct. 22, in which Latin American
leaders highlighted
 the
need for a common response to migration that respects, protects,
and guarantees the human rights of migrants. 

"The challenges of large-scale humanitarian migration are real.
This summit represents an opportunity for President Biden and
other leaders to focus on solutions that prioritizes orderly
borders and honors migrants' human dignity," said Jennie
Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum.  

"The United States can prove its leadership in the Americas by
promoting holistic solutions across the region to address the root
causes of irregular migration - and secure, compassionate responses
to it." 

The Americas Summit last year resulted in the Los Angeles Declaration
on Migration and Protection
,
which has guided the management of hemispheric migration since
then. This week's summit could lead to renewed agreements for
inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the hemisphere to prevent
forced migration. 

Murray is available for interview ahead of Friday's
summit. Contact Dan Gordon .
