**Response to Biden's Border Policy Announcement**

**WASHINGTON, D.C.**- The following is a statement from

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**,
following President Biden's speech on border security today and the
administration's release of updated border policies:

"First and foremost, it's helpful that the president is facing
challenges at the border head-on. Today's announcement has some
positive steps - many of which we've called for

- but some concerns remain.

"Increasing the use of humanitarian parole will help contribute to a
more orderly process at the border, as will expanded legal alternatives
for those seeking humanitarian protection. We also are glad to see more
resources and personnel being put in place to improve border processing.

"We have significant concerns as well. The proposed rulemaking that
would implement a transit ban for many traveling through third countries
is extremely problematic, as is the continued reliance on Title 42.
People of limited means will continue to have difficulty accessing
humanitarian parole, as has been the case for Venezuelans. We also hope
the administration will consider increasing the cap on humanitarian
parole visas if circumstances warrant it.

"Ultimately, the president and Congress still need to work together to
adopt much-needed immigration reforms - including, but not limited to,
the border - to solve the challenges we face."

Forum policy experts are available to discuss the new policies in
greater detail. Contact Dan Gordon
