John,

Migration patterns have changed in recent decades, creating a new reality that requires changes to our immigration system.

That’s why today, with help from key partners, we're releasing the Border Security and Management Framework. This framework prioritizes security and order at the southern border, while maintaining humanitarian protections for those who have a valid claim.

Tell your Members of Congress to Support Secure, Efficient and Humane Border Security Management.

The framework has four sections that address current border challenges and proposed improvements. They include:

• Asylum – Modernize the United States asylum process by creating a specialized corps of asylum officers with the authority to adjudicate most claims at the border within 45-60 days.
• Personnel, Technology, & Operations – Provide the personnel and resources to adequately secure U.S. borders.
• Fentanyl and Illicit Substance Interdiction – Support investments in programs and technology to stop the flow of fentanyl and other illicit substances into the U.S.
• Stopping Human Smuggling & Trafficking – Update federal law and processes to better respond to human smuggling and trafficking cases, particularly in cases involving migrant children.

Tell your Representatives in Congress you support these proposed immigration reforms!

Americans want solutions that bring order and humanity to the border, and this framework not only reflects a growing consensus among policy experts on realistic solutions but is also pragmatic and would receive support across party lines.

Tell Congress to bring solutions on immigration and support this Border Framework.

Thank you for your ongoing support,
