LULAC ANALYSIS: SUPREME COURT DECISION SHOULD COMPEL A BIPARTISAN COMMITMENT TO
IMMIGRATION REFORM
===============================================================================


Nation's Largest and Oldest Latino Civil Rights Organization Holds Both Congress
and the Biden Administration Responsible for Current Border Chaos
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dallas, Texas – The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) issued the
following policy analysis on the ruling Tuesday by the U.S. Supreme Court [ [link removed] ] .
The court upheld the immediate deportation of refugees entering the country
illegally into the United States while their application for refugee status is
processed.

Domingo Garcia – LULAC National President

"LULAC is disappointed in today's 5-4 court decision because of the suffering we
are witnessing among migrants fleeing very difficult situations in their
countries of origin. We hold the Republican Governors, Congress, and the Biden
Administration accountable for the state of affairs along our southern border. We
should all be disturbed by images of refugees crossing riverbeds in freezing
weather during Christmas only to confront barbed wire fences. Or to see migrants
that political operatives drop off in front of the Vice-President's home during
historic cold weather. This situation is not solely a presidential problem. Both
parties must work together to stop illegal crossings by passing a bipartisan
immigration bill that allows legal migration. Elected officials must secure the
border by closing immigration law loopholes. LULAC has called for a Marshall
Plan-like approach that deals with the underlying issues forcing people to flee
Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Also, the U.S. must reopen diplomatic
relations with Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. LULAC urges both sides of the
aisle in Congress to recognize this situation as a humanitarian crisis. Also, we
again demand that Governors Abbott and DeSantis help resolve the situation
instead of using inflaming tactics and fear-mongering while doing nothing to
solve the problem."

Lydia Guzman – LULAC National Immigration Chair

"Title 42 is a public health measure and was never intended to control
immigration like it is being done now. The CDC lifted many COVID restrictions,
including international travel and mask mandates on planes. Title 42 should have
been lifted in the same manner. Instead is being misused as a tool to control
migration, and that's not right."
