Following the accounts of the treatment of Haitans at the U.S.-Mexico border, New American Economy issued the following statement:
“The violent treatment of Haitians seeking asylum at the Texas border is utterly shameful and has no place in our society — and it must be addressed immediately,” said Jeremy Robbins, Executive Director of New American Economy. “In addition to investigating the CBP officers involved, we urge the administration and Congress to work together to address the failures of our immigration system and build a humane, orderly asylum process that treats people with dignity and affirms their right to have their asylum claims heard.”
The American Immigration Council works to create a more welcoming and fair immigration system. Through litigation, research, and programs that expand access to legal assistance, the Council helps ensure immigrants are embraced, communities are enriched, and justice prevails for all.
