July 15, 2021 President Joe Biden The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Biden, We the undersigned urge you to end the harmful and unscientific Title 42 order that is causing great harm to our immigrant family at the southern border and violates the internationally recognized legal right to seek asylum. As people of faith, we believe in honoring the dignity of all people, therefore, we ask you to change our federal policies to welcome, not expel asylum seekers. This order has no medical basis and is causing great harm. In May at least three immigrants who had been expelled under Title 42 were killed on the Mexican side of the border. Many Indigenous and Haitian families and adults, have been expelled to persecution and other dangers. The Title 42 order is causing thousands of family separations that endanger the lives of children and is encouraging gang activity and persecution of immigrants in Mexico. During your presidential campaign, you supported policies and practices that adhered to science and promised to put create a just and humane immigration system. The continued use of the Title 42 policy goes against these campaign promises. We urge you to end Title 42 swiftly and stop putting asylum seekers into even more danger by expelling them back to Mexico and their home countries, and instead to welcome them with dignity. We ask that you end this policy now. Sincerely, Mary J. Novak Executive Director NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice And the more than 1,600 advocates for justice across the United States listed below.
