The American Immigration Council joined a coalition of 129 labor, immigration, civil rights and religious organizations calling for members of the House of Representatives to vote against the anti-immigrant bill H.R.2 Secure the Border Act of 2023. The bill, would dismantle the U.S. asylum system and cause immeasurable harm to immigrant communities, among other things, by: establishing dozens of new restrictions on asylum, eliminating protections for unaccompanied children, jailing immigrant families, restarting the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" border policy, resuming the construction of a border wall, and increasing the backlog at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

We can't let the government keep us in the dark.

Join us in demanding transparency and holding them accountable in court to protect our democracy.
