OPINION: 'I’m calling on our leaders to reconsider their support of this inhumane policy. Rather than trying to stem the flow of migration under the faulty guise of a public health policy, I urge policymakers to improve the asylum system…
Ever since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago, migrants who flee their countries and request asylum at the U.S. southern border have been forced to wait in Mexico without any process whatsoever.
People are also reading… The CDC planned to end Title 42 later this month, yet Arizona is one of 20 states that would keep this harmful policy. U.S. Sens. Mark Kelly and Krysten Sinema and gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs have all expressed concern that removing the policy will increase the flow of migrants to the border and overwhelm our system. We need better resources and funding to process people at the border. But Title 42 has, itself, created this overcrowding.
I’m calling on our leaders to reconsider their support of this inhumane policy. Rather than trying to stem the flow of migration under the faulty guise of a public health policy, I urge policymakers to improve the asylum system we already have in place. Resuming asylum processing at ports of entry will reduce the number trying to cross the border, protect more lives and comply with our legal obligations.
