Biden’s immigration executive order will hurt migrant asylum-seeking women from Mexico and Central America fleeing gender-based and sexual violence.
Sulan, a migrant woman from Venezuela, is comforted by her daughter as she cries while retelling her journey to reach El Paso, Texas, on April 2, 2024.
Despite political rhetoric to the contrary, obtaining asylum at the southern border is not easy. It is an arduous process that requires migrants to present a meticulous legal case and prove to an immigration judge that they meet demanding criteria. The entire process is lengthy and difficult; the Migration Policy Institute notes that an asylum case typically takes more than four years to be heard in Immigration Court.
The Biden order will endanger the lives of women fleeing persecution who end up at our southern border. Yes, the asylum system must be updated to address current realities. We need more asylum officers, more immigration judges and better guidance regarding cases that involve gender-based violence. With resources, the system could work more efficiently, but denying individuals the ability to apply for asylum will not resolve any problems and will only result in more suffering.U.S.
