AOC: “This administration is making it effectively impossible to seek refuge at our border…. President Biden should listen to the courts and human rights advocates and reverse course.”
In the letter, the lawmakers expressed concern over the Biden administration’s recent announcement that it would be issuing guidance that would block people from being granted asylum if they hadn’t sought to stay in a country that they traveled through on their way to the U.S. — a policyThe Trump administrationimplement a similar transit ban to “categorically end asylum,” the lawmakers pointed out.
Along with Ocasio-Cortez, the letter was spearheaded by Representatives Greg Casar and Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez . It has been signed by prominent progressive lawmakers like Sen. Bernie Sanders . Rep. Cori Bush called Title 42 and the transit ban “unconscionable” at the press conference and questioned the administration’s motivations in expanding the anti-immigrant policies.
“Title 42 is meant to be a public health tool, is what we’re told. Does anybody seriously believe the administration is doing this to prevent COVID-19? It’s a stopgap measure kept in place by far-right judges and expanded under this administration that denies the right to asylum by failing to address the underlying structural problems with our immigration system,” she said.
“The asylum transit ban was repeatedly struck down as unconstitutional during the Trump administration. Why would this administration double down on this illegal and inhumane policy? How can it not see that the costs far outweigh any perceived benefits?” she said, adding that there’s “nothing moderate” about continuing to implement extreme, xenophobic policies that have been pushed by the far right to deter and criminalize asylum seekers.
