Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller joins leaders critical of new border restrictions on migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti.
In a statement, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro condemned the expanded asylum restrictions.
Castro said that while he appreciated the administration’s intent to create a pathway for legal entry, the transit ban and parole requirements are “willfully dismissive” of the realities asylum seekers face. He added that the new rules will “deprive countless families of the legal right to seek refuge in the United States.”
“Democrats just passed nearly $2 billion in federal funding to strengthen our immigration system, alleviating the strain on border communities and transit points like San Antonio. We should build from that progress instead of moving backward,” Castro said., a nonprofit that provides free and low-cost legal services to immigrant children, families and refugees, called the expansion of Title 42 “insensitive” to the realities asylum seekers face.
