As the state of Texas mounts yet another legal challenge to the Biden administration’s border policies, some groups say Attorney General Ken Paxton doesn’t fully understand the president’s proposed changes to the legal asylum process.
Under the plan, some asylum seekers could be released on parole pending the outcome of their cases, a move Paxton asserts will be an incentive for people to illegally enter the United States.
“Texas spends significant amounts of money providing services to illegal aliens because of the United States government’s failure to enforce federal law,” the complaint states. “Those services include education services and healthcare, as well as many other social services.” Yang added that under current policy, some asylum offices already accept and adjudicate applications for relief if a person is not in removal proceedings.
Fernando Garcia, executive director of the El Paso-based Border Network for Human Rights, said his apprehension over the policy comes from a longstanding mistrust of border agents and enforcement officers. With respect to Paxton’s lawsuit, Garcia added it was just par for the course from a politically motivated attorney general.
