As per an update from the USCCB's Justice for Immigrants....
"Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are voting tomorrow, June 21st to pass H.R. 4760 and H.R. 6136.
"Both of these bills address DACA eligible youth, but require drastic cuts to family-based immigration and eradicate protections for unaccompanied children and asylum seekers. Here are some of our concerns:
"HR 4760
• H.R. 4760 does not include a pathway to citizenship for the limited number of DACA recipients eligible for protection.
• H.R. 4760 fails to adequately address family separation and will lead to increases in child and family detention.
• H.R. 4760 heightens the asylum 'credible fear' standard and will undermine existing and critical protections for unaccompanied children.
"HR 6136
• H.R. 6136 fails to adequately address family separation and will lead to increases in child and family detention.
• H.R. 6136 heightens the asylum 'credible fear' standard and will undermine existing and critical protections for unaccompanied children.
"Please act now and send the following message to your Member of Congress:
"Dear Representative:
As my lawmaker in Congress, I ask that you vote NO! on H.R. 4760 and H.R. 6136. These bills are inconsistent with my Catholic values of welcoming immigrants, promoting family unity, and protecting the vulnerable. They also fail to provide an adequate solution to the crisis of family separation occurring at the U.S./Mexico border. As a Catholic I am against the detention of children.
Thank you."
