"Chuy" García | G000586 | chuygarcia.house.gov | chuygarcia | https://chuygarcia.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Representatives Jesús "Chuy" García (IL-04), Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), and Jose Luis Correa (CA-46), released the following statement regarding the Sinema-Tillis framework. “We appreciate the ongoing Senate negotiations and recognition to act on behalf of the nearly 2 million who are DACA recipients or migrants eligible for the program counting on us to ensure protections for Dreamers,” said the members. “It’s time for Congress to stop playing political games and move forward with meaningful and common sense immigration reform. However, we are deeply troubled by the Sinema-Tillis framework’s continued assault on asylum seekers. “Our nation has the moral and legal obligation to guarantee the right to seek asylum to individuals who arrive at our borders. The proposed plan would reinstate the Title 42 expulsion policy while significantly increasing funding for border security. It bolsters a deal to further militarize the border and lacks necessary accountability measures that comprehensive immigration reform would have delivered. In addition to border security funding, the Sinema-Tillis framework would also further expand the use of detention centers, which remain rife with abuse. It would lead to longer jail periods and extended time with limited access to legal counsel or due process. This inhumane proposal would also bar TPS recipients from receiving green cards. Finally, the current proposal creates a lifetime bar for individuals and their families to receive any immigration benefit, including asylum, and harsh sanctions for individuals who fail to appear in court regardless of their fear of persecution. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
