New Business Item 38 Action:Awaiting Debate
The NEA will publicize via appropriate social media a call to end Title 42, the Trump-era racist policy of turning away immigrants at the southern border and forcing family separations. NEA will further publicize via appropriate social media a call for the shutdown of all child detention centers and support granting refugee status, as well as an increased number of work and family visas, to immigrant children and their families.
Rationale/Background
The United Nations (UN) Refugee Agency has urged the Biden Administration to rescind Title 42 and restore access to asylum. The ongoing crisis of immigration must be declared a humanitarian crisis, and immigrants crossing the border must be given refugee status.
