John--

Today marks two years since Trump announced the Remain in Mexico program, which forces vulnerable children and families to wait in Mexico for a chance at finding safety and justice in the U.S., often for months and years without proper shelter, water, food or medical care.

President Biden took an important first step towards rolling back this cruel policy, ending new enrollments into the Remain in Mexico program, but that is only a first step.

More than 67,000 children and families enrolled in Remain in Mexico are still in limbo, waiting to see their day in court. There is an urgent need for Congress to support a safe and just process for welcoming these families into the U.S.

Will you add your name to ask Congress to continue to prioritize a swift entry for families that have been waiting in the wing for years?

It is legal to seek safety for yourself and your family. When people cross borders, their human rights come with them. Remain in Mexico was an attack not only on our American values, but also on our laws.

The children and families living in constant fear cannot continue to wait. It is time to unite and show compassion for people who courageously fled violence and persecution, and convey that our country is a welcoming place for all.

Will you add your name to ask Congress to continue to prioritize a swift entry for families that have been waiting in the wing for years?

This is only the beginning. We remain committed to holding Congress accountable to its promise of a more compassionate approach to the system that greets people who have come to our border seeking safety. This starts with the people stranded under Remain in Mexico.

Thanks for your continued commitment,
