'The Biden administration may have inherited Title 42,' said LIRSorg president and CEO KrishVignarajah, 'but its legacy on immigration is now being defined by the continuation of this disgraceful policy.'
"The Biden administration may have inherited Title 42, but its legacy on immigration is now being defined by the continuation of this disgraceful policy."Migrant rights advocates on Sunday marked the second anniversary of a Trump-era tactic continued by the Biden administration to deport asylum-seekers under pretext of the Covid-19 pandemic by calling for an end to the harmful policy.
Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrant Rights Project, said in a video marking the ignominious anniversary that Title 42 is"based on a misuse of the public health laws, claiming that we could no longer have asylum-seekers because they could spread Covid. That has been rejected by every public health official who's looked at it."the administration from using Title 42 to expel families fleeing danger, Gelernt implored Biden to end the policy.
Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, president and CEO of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, said in a statement Sunday that"asylum-seekers have found America's golden doors shamefully slammed shut on them for two years too many." People seeking safety are not a public health threat; if any threat exists, it is the one Title 42 poses to our nation's moral standing and credibility as the world's humanitarian leader. There is no room for double standards—as the administration eases pandemic restrictions, it must also end the mass expulsion of asylum-seekers in violation of their rights under both international and U.S. law.
