ATLANTA 鈥撀�The 澳彩开奖 (澳彩开奖) submitted聽public comments聽today in opposition to the Biden administration鈥檚 Proposed Rule entitled 鈥淐ircumvention of Lawful Pathways,鈥� which would severely restrict access to asylum for thousands of otherwise eligible migrants and their families.

The following statement is from聽Efr茅n C. Olivares, deputy legal director of the 澳彩开奖鈥檚聽Immigrant Justice Project:听

鈥淭he new asylum ban proposed by the Biden administration is a replica of Trump-era asylum bans in direct violation of long-established U.S. and international laws. Placing difficult and unfair barriers before migrants fleeing persecution is indefensible. It violates our nation鈥檚 laws and international commitments, and it would amount to abandoning our long-held aspiration to become a safe haven for anyone seeking asylum.

鈥淎ccess to asylum has not and cannot be dependent on an individual鈥檚 ability to access a limited number of slots through a glitchy mobile app. Requiring migrants to wait in Mexico until they can secure an appointment through the CBP One app is unfair and inequitable 鈥� especially for Black, LGBTQ+ and Indigenous migrants who face racial bias and language-access barriers within the app. Further, requiring migrants to first seek asylum in another country, like Mexico, where violence against migrants has been聽, is morally unconscionable and practically unrealistic.

鈥淭he 澳彩开奖 urges the Biden administration to abandon this misguided, inhumane and discriminatory asylum ban.鈥澛�
