Friend, a couple of weeks ago President Biden announced a torrent of harmful border policies, including the expansion of Title 42 expulsions, which will continue to endanger thousands of migrants and erode the legal right to asylum.
The Biden administration is deliberately choosing to expand the use of deadly and unlawful Trump-era border policies. Join us in calling on President Biden to uphold his commitment and U.S. law and protect the right to asylum >>>
Seeking asylum is a right enshrined in U.S. and international law. Yet, for nearly three years, presidents of both political parties have used the false pretext of public health to essentially cut off access to seek asylum at the border in the United States under Title 42.
As Republicans continue to block any chance of Congressional action to improve our outdated and broken immigration system, we need the Biden administration to lead boldly, not embrace right-wing talking points and double down on failed so-called deterrence practices, like Title 42.
Join us in urging the administration to follow through on its commitments to end Trump’s detrimental policies, to respect our asylum laws, and to build a 21st century immigration system that recognizes the dignity and humanity inherent in us all. Tweet at President Biden now >>>
Thank you for helping us in sending a strong message to President Biden that we will not stand for policies that tear down our asylum system and harm people seeking safety in the U.S. We are grateful to have you in this fight.
Sincerely,
Lisa Graybill
Vice President, Law & Policy
