The Biden Administration recently announced a proposed rule that will ultimately shut out asylum seekers from gaining entry into the U.S. Safe Horizon’s Immigration Law Project stands in solidarity with asylum seekers, advocating against this measure that is a significant setback in U.S. immigration policies towards those fleeing insufferable conditions in their home countries.
Statement:
“The proposed rule by the Biden administration will needlessly impede the ability of asylum seekers to access proven paths to safety, stability and healing. Migrants seeking asylum are fleeing their home countries to escape violence, persecution and even, death. We urge the Biden administration to reverse this rule that detracts from humane, just, and fair treatment of individuals seeking better lives for themselves and their families.” – Safe Horizon Immigration Law Project
