**Speakers Call for Consensus on Border, Immigration**

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** - Bipartisan members of Congress and advocates
gathered on Capitol Hill today to urge lasting border and immigration
solutions that balance security with compassion.

Speaking during an Alliance for a New Immigration Consensus
press conference, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Washington),
Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-California), and speakers representing Catholic,
Dreamer, agriculture and border perspectives talked about the need for
consensus-based solutions

**.**

Also Wednesday, about 400 Hispanic Catholic leaders met with
congressional offices

to advocate for immigration reforms as part of the "Raíces y Alas"
(Roots and Wings) conference convened by the National Catholic Congress
of Hispanic Ministry.

The events took place amid the ongoing political debate about the
CDC's pending end of the pandemic-era Title 42

policy.

A record number of border encounters in March, with Title 42 in effect
and before the announcement that it would end, demonstrates the
ineffectiveness of the policy. A solutions-focused approach would
balance lasting border solutions

with immigration reforms that offer certainty to Dreamers
,
agricultural workers

and Temporary Protected Status recipients
.

"Without question, we need border-management and immigration solutions,"
said

**Laurence Benenson, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at the
National Immigration Forum**. "With the release of the Department of
Homeland Security's border plan on Tuesday, the Biden administration
has added some important detail to its post-Title 42 strategy. But the
need for legislative reform is stronger than ever. Members of Congress
should come together in good faith and reach agreement on immigration
reforms."
