Another proposed attempt to go hard on the very people in need of protection. Running roughshod over due process in asylum proceedings doesn’t address the real challenges at the border. Do better, y’all.

To be crystal clear: Las Americas opposes this rule, and any measures further curtailing access to asylum, and will ensure the government hears our objections and solutions.

The data is clear: immigrants are good for the economy and good for our country.

They are doctors, teachers, and CEOs. They pay billions in taxes every single year. And they deserve to be here, in the United States, making this country a better place.

“Companies across America are scrambling for workers, making the same appeal they’ve made for years: admit more immigrants to ease a severe labor shortage and fill jobs Americans don’t want.”

All reporting on this should include the fact that the Biden admin has ALREADY banned asylum to nearly 90% of all people crossing unlawfully, so going from 90 to 100% will make little difference. But no ban can be applied rapidly without more asylum officers.

Given the turmoil occurring in TX at the hands of Greg Abbott using Texas DPS as his private police, the fact summer is encroaching and TX rejected to provide families with meals for their children, it is a slap in the face to Texans to continue the below political theater

Borderland communities, along with people seeking asylum, are tired of being used as political footballs.

We need real solutions that address humanitarian challenges at our borders instead of mindlessly copying policies from past administrations.

Republican-led states are aggressively pushing new anti-immigrant laws under the guise of state safety. These laws aren't meant to protect anyone. They're about striking fear in immigrant communities demonizing them further, but that's the point isn't it?

Another week, another way Texas is hard at work making the border worse. Targeting Annunciation House just makes things in El Paso less orderly, less safe, and less humane.

Criminalizing the work of welcome and humanitarian assistance is inhumane and pure political theater.

Las Americas IAC stands in solidarity with Annunciation House today and always.

There are many, many stories of migrants being kidnapped by Mexican immigration officials and sold to cartels. Obviously it’s not everyone, but corruption is well-documented.

“According to the most recent task force data, the families of more than 1,000 kids taken away at the border have not had the opportunity to see who those children have become.”

Again this complete falsehood arises. No, the Biden admin didn't 'fly' anyone here—unless you think a tourist granted a visa is being 'flown into the country' by the US government when they go to Disneyland.

People approved under the CHNV program have to fly here on their own.
