Together with other abhorrent actions happening at our borders on his watch, these sweeping changes would further betray President Biden\u2019s previously articulated commitment to bring humanity and order to our systems to welcome people seeking safety. The United States\u2019 commitment to help those facing crises around the world must also extend to those seeking safety at our doorstep. We urge the administration to reject linking the decimation of our legal asylum system with providing aid to Ukraine and Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1446077129866{margin-top: -15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;sidebar-1&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row el_class=&#8221;holder&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1444345515294{margin-top: -75px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 3, 2023 CONTACT Email: media@nilc.org Juan Gastelum, 213-375-3149 Emily Morris, 213-457-7458 NILC Statement on Reports that Biden Admin is Negotiating Changes to Asylum WASHINGTON \u2014 Kica Matos, president of the National Immigration Law Center, issued the following statement in response to reports that the Biden [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,206],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37191"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37191"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37199,"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37191\/revisions\/37199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nilc.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
