Opinion: Biden’s new border policies are unjustifiably onerous and restrictive
I’ve been a Placentia-based immigration attorney for the past decade, but I’ve never forgotten the story of a young Salvadoran man I met several years ago. When Enrique , a married father with two school-age children, witnessed a police murder in his village, his world turned upside down. Soon after his friend who was with him that night was killed, Enrique started receiving death threats. The family made the impossible decision to send him north in search of safety.
Six years later, Enrique now works as a mechanic for a semitruck company. His kids, 15 and 17, are thriving in school, and he and his wife perform in the worship band at their local church. They are in the process of applying for citizenship. It’s clear to me that our asylum process saved Enrique’s life—and his family’s lives.
It may seem that the White House’s proposed plan looks to create “law and order” at the border. And I understand that we’ve got plenty of problems in our own backyard; however, if we turn a blind eye to this injustice, then we’re opening the door to worse ones.
