QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Congress should advance bipartisan solutions to provide smart resources at the border that make the existing process work better while keeping communities safe. Congress should increase funding to improve asylum processing, reduce backlogs and work permit waiting times, resource states, localities and community shelter and support services, and access to legal counsel. We all share a commitment to ensuring that our communities thrive and that those who need protection can find it here in the United States. A smart funding package would better fund the system and ensure humane treatment for asylum applicants and would not permanently block access to safety for all who need refuge.”
-- The Council joined several other organizations in calling for Congress to prioritize common-sense action to support cities and states, fund border management, and ensure a fair and more efficient asylum system. [[link removed]]
