Framework Offers a Guide for Asylum, Border Improvements  

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Amid reports of possible asylum changes from the Biden administration and a year since the end of Title 42, a recently released framework prioritizes modernizing the asylum process.

The Border Security and Management Framework, announced last month by seven partners including the Forum, offers workable solutions not only for asylum but also to increase personnel and technology along the border, block the flow of illicit fentanyl and other illicit substances into the U.S., and stop human trafficking and human smuggling. 

"This framework offers a blueprint for how we can modernize asylum and address border challenges in a secure, orderly and humane way," said Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum. "Ultimately, the responsibility for long-term asylum and border solutions lies with Congress. By overwhelming margins, Americans want Democrats and Republicans to work together on pragmatic solutions."

The framework is available online, and Murray and other experts are available for interview. Contact Dan Gordon.
