Immigrants and migrants need compassion at the border, not restrictive confusing laws that make asylum and other legal pathways difficult.
Immigrants seeking a better life in the U.S. need compassion, not more restrictive and confusing laws that make access to asylum and other legal pathways difficult. For months now, the words “we must do something about the border” have been thrown about in the United States—as though the border were a leaky roof or broken window that could be quickly repaired and made new again.
Those who were released into the U.S. are often families, unaccompanied children and people who passed a credible fear screening According to Luis Homes, a Venezuelan attorney who now works as an accredited representative at ProBar in Harlingen, Texas, many of the people he sees have been living with tragedy for a long time before feeling that they have nowhere to go but the U.S.
As an example, he points to education. “I’m always impressed by how many people immediately enroll in school. They want to learn and support themselves.” Homes confirmed these are the stories of his clients as well. “These are regular people. They are the ones doing the jobs but they can’t live in their countries anymore. These are young girls who get attacked in their countries or while in Mexico who are now pregnant.”

The project's president, Chris Chmielenski, argues that the deal essentially allows the Biden administration to continue the catch and release policy, grant work permits, and parole to individuals entering through ports of entry.
