FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER

========================

John, Do you know how the heartbreaking scene of hundreds of Haitian families huddled under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas ended? For most, it was the worst outcome of all: deportation back to the danger they’d moved heaven and earth to flee.

And what makes that heartbreak especially sickening is that the official, “legal,” reason for flying these families back into harm's way is based on a Trump-era policy maintained over the objections from the CDC in the name of "public health."

It’s a blatant lie, and everyone knows it. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief Medical Advisor to the President, just weighed in saying expelling immigrants is not how we solve America’s COVID crisis.

On Friday the CDC announced it’s re-evaluating the policy, known as Title 42. With the thinnest veneer of public health legitimacy disappearing, John, we need you to help us build huge a public outcry so that Biden stops perverting public health policy to attack children and families.

Dr. Fauci is right. Instead of meeting families seeking safety with care and compassion in Del Rio, President Biden expelled over 7,000 Haitian migrants back to danger using Title 42 as his “legal” justification.

Let’s be clear: abandoning mothers with babies as young as 2-days-old is not making us safer. Forcing families back into the danger they’ve fled is not making us safer.

There are all kinds of robust alternatives to truly combat Covid-19: testing, quarantine, vaccination. NOT deportation and removal. But rather than focus on science, too many are leaning into racist tropes that associate immigrants with disease.

John , Title 42 is not making us safer. It’s a racist policy masquerading as public health policy.

This perversion of public health policy was an intentional choice by the Trump administration, and it’s been devastating that the Biden administration has chosen to continue to put children and families in danger -- and this cruelty has to end.

John , we need you to join us and demand the Biden Administration stop using this Trump-era tactic to punish families, and replace it with a dignified, compassionate asylum system. [[link removed]]

This country’s failure to protect people seeking safety is heartbreaking. We need to push back on the notion that we as a country cannot find real solutions to fix our broken immigration system now more than ever. Because we can.

Thank you for all you do,
Paola Luisi | Director
