We joined this letter to President Biden & Vice President Kamala Harris Let’s be clear about what this so-called “bipartisan border bill” really means for our immigrant communities; • restrictions on asylum • increase in immigrant detention • expedited deportations • increase in border militarization

In the finale of Latino USA's “The Moving Border,” we reveal the new asylum system being developed by Mexico’s president and the harsh realities it poses for those searching for safety and a better life. Revisit this episode here ↘️ latinousa.org/2024/09/08/mov…

JD Vance and GOP leaders' racially motivated attacks against Haitian people are disgusting, bigoted, and based on flat-out lies. Haitian migrants and Haitian Americans deserve leaders who will see them as human beings and will fight for them, not leaders who will cast them out

Children who were separated from their parents during Trump's so-called "zero tolerance" policy in 2018 are sharing their stories. "My hope is to, first of all, share my story and make sure that nobody goes through anything that happened to me again."

As Jews, we know where dehumanizing language leads. Our ancestors call on us to resist xenophobic language and stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. We are committed to fighting anti-Black racism, especially against Black immigrants, now and always.

The recent falsehoods and racist comments by Senator JD Vance against the Haitian community is another attempt by politicians to dehumanize immigrants.

VP candidate J.D. Vance, falsely and offensively claimed that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. These inflammatory remarks dangerously stigmatize an already targeted population. The Haitian Bridge Alliance urges him to retract. cbsnews.com/news/baseless-…

Contrary to what the candidates and moderator are insinuating onstage tonight, banning asylum doesn't make the border secure. It doesn't make anyone safer. It only increases chaos and dysfunction, while putting vulnerable refugees in harm's way. x.com/humanrights1st…

The way to respond to anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric is not to legitimize the premise. Talking about immigration through the lens of criminality and “border security” will continue to harm the immigrant community.

Hateful rhetoric has no place in a presidential debate. Anti-Black conspiracy theories don't belong in national headlines. Immigrants help America grow, period. Here's a real story about how Haitian migrants make Springfield, Ohio stronger. 👇👇

I guess it’s time to repost this thread. Defending immigrants by throwing people of color and working class communities under the bus is not the own you think it is

WOW. The 5th Circuit just indefinitely halted all lower court proceedings in the Keeping Families Together case (despite neither party having asked for that). This throws the schedule into chaos, making it likely there won't be a lower court ruling for potentially months.

There's a long history of anti-Haitian immigration policies in the U.S., dating back to 1980s when Haitian refugees were rejected and jailed in detention centers. The recent attacks against the Haitian community are dangerous and have real consequences.

Over the past few years, BAJI has consistently highlighted how the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies have been harmful to Black communities.

If you’re exhausted from so much misinformation & cruelty around immigration, here’s a sweet break: a love letter to Queens NY in podcast form x & I spent a Sunday in Flushing Meadows park speaking to immigrants from different communities abt joy. npr.org/sections/codes…

We cannot ignore the long history of racist and xenophobic immigration policies against Black immigrants, especially from Haiti. We must reject any attempts to spread disinformation aimed at dehumanizing Haitian immigrants.

The anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy in our national discourse pose a real danger to the lives of immigrants and refugees across the country. Read the full statement from our Executive Director, Catalina Velasquez: waisn.org/media-press/
