EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A border nonprofit says the Biden administration and the governments of Texas and Mexico are deterring migration through cruelty and making it easier for criminals to victimize the migrants.
Thus, the El Paso-based Hope Border Institute is calling on the Biden administration to rescind recent asylum restrictions between ports of entry, sue Texas to end Operation Lone Star, and hire additional staff to speed up the processing of asylum claims, parole, and visa applications.
“The latest iteration of efforts to waken access to asylum at the Mexican border is part of a broader effort by the United States – aided by its collaboration with Mexico and facilitated by the cruelty of Texas’ parallel system of immigration enforcement – to evade its responsibilities to vulnerable migrants, militarize the border and use pain as a form of migrant deterrence,” the Hope Border Institute said in a report released Thursday called “Pain as Strategy.”
