Friend, we just learned that President Biden is considering shutting down the U.S.-Mexico border.
This news follows a string of deliberate policy choices by the Biden administration to severely limit access to our country’s legal asylum system, while also doubling down on harmful Trump-era policies.
If President Biden acts on this decision, it would mark an unprecedented abuse of executive authority with severe implications for the rights and well-being of immigrants and asylum seekers, many of whom are fleeing unimaginable circumstances in search of safety and a better life.
We need your help, team, to urge President Biden to reconsider this course of action and instead work to build a 21st-century immigration system that centers humanity, like President Biden and his administration committed to. Sign our petition now to make your voice heard >>>
It’s urgent that we take a strong stand on this. Thank you for being a critical force behind our work.
