'The Democrats co-sponsoring this bill are allowing political propaganda to determine the bills they support and shamefully pandering to white supremacists by seeking to codify this xenophobic and deadly Trump-era policy.' RAICESTEXAS
"Title 42 is a cruel and racist Trump-era policy crafted by white nationalist Stephen Miller to prevent Black and Brown immigrants from seeking their legal right to asylum in the U.S."Immigration justice advocates on Tuesday demanded that federal lawmakers reject a legislative package they derided as the"Stephen Miller bill," which would codify a rule that has expelled more than 1.7 million asylum-seekers since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
President Joe Biden was applauded by rights advocates earlier this month when his administration responded to mounting pressure andthe provision would no longer be in effect starting May 23, after immigration officials implement public health measures at border crossings. But right-wing members of Biden's own party, including Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly and Rep. Henry Cuellar , are co-sponsoring what RAICES called the"cruel and senseless" package introduced Tuesday, which wouldthe government from terminating Title 42 provisions until 60 days after the end of the national Covid-19 emergency declaration.
"Title 42 is a cruel and racist Trump-era policy crafted by white nationalist Stephen Miller to prevent Black and Brown immigrants from seeking their legal right to asylum in the U.S.," said Allen Morris, policy and government affairs strategist at RAICES."This 'Stephen Miller bill' is nothing but a cruel and craven homage to the racist right wing, politicizing access to asylum under the guise of public health and bipartisanship.
