Criticism of President Biden’s Border Policies Continues, President Visits Border Today
As featured on this blog last week, the Biden administration has announced new immigration enforcement plans. And the announcement continues to garner criticism.
“President Biden correctly recognized today that seeking asylum is a legal right and spoke sympathetically about people fleeing persecution. But the plan he announced further ties his administration to the poisonous anti-immigrant policies of the Trump era instead of restoring fair access to asylum protections.
We’ll say it again: Seeking asylum is a right enshrined in U.S. and international law. Title 42 must end.#RestoreAsylumNow https://t.co/uus4K9955Z

The American Immigration Lawyer’s Association’s response: Biden Administration Expands Legal Pathways with Parole Strategy but Deeply Erodes U.S. Commitment to Asylum Protection
Later today, President Biden is visiting El Paso, Texas, which has been in the news as many migrants have entered the country from Mexico there.
