I've been off Twitter for a while, but have to come back to share this. Just a week after Title 42 was lifted-- at the height of the Fox News border crisis narrative-- likely voters STILL believe people should be able to seek asylum at the U.S. border. This gives me hope!
12 Jun 2023
NEW POLL: The Lab, @refugeesintl & @DataProgress have released new polling on access to asylum at the U.S. southern border.
The topline: Access to asylum enjoys 20 percent support among likely voters, with a majority support overall.

A sobering piece by @YaelSchacher on what she learned from asylum seekers in Mexican border cities of Reynosa and Piedras Negras. The devastating implications of keeping Title 42 in place are real, and they are heartbreaking.

.@EricSchwartzRI reports from Piedras Negras, Mexico where he spoke with many asylum seekers, who are "unbelievably barred from any consideration of entry into the United States due to #Title42." It's clear that the measure must be lifted.

.@YaelSchacher reporting from #Laredo, Texas, where she observed asylum hearing cases of five Nicaraguan women who were forced into the Remain in Mexico program. It's clear that this policy has enormous human and financial costs. Learn more:

Agree 100%, @DaniloZak. Though flagging Reception & Placement support for Ukrainian parolees was unfortunately not included
10 May 2022
No AAA is a massive missed opportunity for Congress to get something positive and bipartisan done, but glad that refugee benefits for Ukrainian parolees WAS included.
Also in the bill: $900 mil for Refugee and Entrant Assistance; $350 mil for Migration and Refugee Assistance
