\n\n\u2013 Maya Angelou\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One should never underestimate the power of words, for he who can use words skillfully, strategically, and cunningly may shape another\u2019s mind in his hands. Indeed, rhetoric is an effective instrument, and a power to which the Trump Administration is no stranger\u2014particularly as it relates to shaping public perceptions on asylum policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over\nthe past few years, the conversation on immigration, once grounded in human\nrights, have given way to more serious discussions predicated on national\nsecurity and labor. Trump\u2019s logic stems from the idea that a strong America\nrequires a thriving labor market, which is the product of an impenetrable\nborder. Such desires to preserve the American worker and defend him from\nforeign nationals have given rise to an ardent nationalist movement. To his\nbase\u2014voters suffering from the woes of a sluggish labor market, stoked by fears\nof the \u201cdangerous foreigner\u201d\u2014this message was welcomed with open arms, and on\nNovember 8, 2016, Trump was elected to the highest office in the land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exactly\ntwo years later, on November 8, 2018, I and a group of students from the Temple\nUniversity Beasley School of Law made our way to Washington, D.C. to meet with\nleading immigration organizations to discuss and bolster our research on country\nconditions in the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras). For\nthe past year, we have been engaged in a project spearheaded by Professor Jaya\nRamji-Nogales and Washington on Latin America (WOLA), a research and advocacy\norganization that advances human rights in the Americas, to compile annotated\ntables of contents from trustworthy sources. Our goal is to build a compendium\nof facts, statistics, and anecdotes that will strengthen asylum applications,\nwith a main focus on each country\u2019s inability and unwillingness to protect its\ncitizens from persecution at the hands of non-state actors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived on Thursday afternoon, and met with several members of WOLA, including Geoff Thale, Vice President for Programs; Maureen Meyer, Director for Mexico and Migrant Rights; and Kevin Amaya, Research Associate. There, we learned of WOLA\u2019s efforts to inform and empower U.S. policymakers to shape fair, meaningful, and comprehensive border and immigration policy. The organization\u2019s work has proven remarkably influential in recent years, evidenced by Congress\u2019s 2018 decision to follow WOLA\u2019s recommendations to increase funding for official ports of entry in lieu of a border \u201cwall,\u201d and deny funding for increased Border Patrol hires or the number of detention beds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That evening, we attended a reception hosted by Alianza Americas, a transnational network of Latino and Caribbean government, non-profit, and labor organizations that shape and influence socioeconomic policies in the Americas. The event took place at the historic Mott House, located directly across from the U.S. Supreme Court. Several leaders from member organizations were honored for their contributions to immigration reform. I even had the opportunity to speak with a congressional staffer, who informed me that Congress often utilizes information disseminated from such organizations to inform their policy objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, Alianza Americas convened its\n2018 Asamblea de Liderazgo<\/em>\n(Leadership Assembly) in the wake of a high-stakes midterm elections that ultimately\nresulted in a new Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.\nIt\u2019s premier panel, \u201cResist, Connect, and Transform,\u201d featured U.S.\nRepresentative Jes\u00fas \u201cChuy\u201d Garcia; U.S. Representative Jim McGovern; Oscar\nChac\u00f3n, Executive Director of Alianza America; and was moderated by Tsi-tsi-ki\nFelix of Entravision. The discussion also included an audience of migrant\nleaders, advocates, and members of the public. Through a series of Q&As, Reps.\nGarcia and McGovern stated they were hopeful that the first one-hundred days of\nthe 116th Congress would be marked by legislative momentum to protect Temporary\nProtected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)\nbeneficiaries\u2014policies that could affect nearly one million people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the panel, we met privately with Rep. McGovern, who is also the Chair of the House Rules Committee, the congressional body that determines which bills will move to the floor for a vote. In the words of Rep. McGovern, the Committee is effectively \u201cthe arm of the leadership.\u201d Rep. McGovern guided us through the process of lawmaking in what I would describe as a much more captivating, grown-up version of Schoolhouse Rock<\/em>. We learned how ideas made their way through the legislative machine, yielding laws that land squarely within our professional practice. Rep. McGovern also reemphasized his goal to provide a solution for DACA recipients, but stated that the national rhetoric on immigrants and specifically, asylees must change. Instead of viewing immigrants as criminals, Rep. McGovern suggests viewing them as a contributing part of our society that make up a significant portion of our workforce. I additionally posited that perhaps it is a question of visibility, and that the national opinion on immigrants may be changed much like history has demonstrated for the LGBTQ community. In short, the more immigrants and refugees that one personally knows, the more perceptions about immigrants as a group will change. Rep. McGovern agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next on our agenda was a lunch meeting with the\nstaff attorneys of Capitol Area Immigrant Rights Coalition (CAIR), an advocacy\ngroup dedicated to immigrant adults and children at risk of detention and\ndeportation in the Washington, D.C. region; Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), a\nlegal services provider to unaccompanied minors in immigration court; and the\nWashington office of the United Nation High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), the\nUnited Nations body that protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and\nstateless people. Here, we learned about the daily challenges of a career in public\ninterest, and caught a glimpse of the life of a practitioner of asylum law. The\nchallenge I found to be most intriguing was the need to constantly adapt to an\never-shifting legal environment moved by omnipresent political winds. This\ninsight proved invaluable, as we ultimately revisited our project to develop a\nmodular system that would be useful in spite of great political uncertainty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To end our trip, we were introduced to Claudia\nPaz y Paz, former Attorney General of Guatemala, and a leading candidate for\nthe 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. During our inspirational chat, Claudia spoke about\nher years as Guatemala\u2019s first female Attorney General, the changes she\nimplemented to fight institutional corruption, and her subsequent escape from\nGuatemala. I was\u2014and still am\u2014awe-struck by Claudia\u2019s bravery as she single-handedly\nreduced Guatemala\u2019s national crime and impunity rates while standing up to\npowerful drug cartels and corrupt politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the battle against Trump\u2019s demagogic immigration policies rages on. On December 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5\u20134 vote, refused to permit the Trump Administration from automatically rejecting asylum bids by people crossing the U.S.-Mexican border illegally. Even so, the past two years have witnessed virtually no Congressional oversight of even the most controversial immigration policies. However, this will likely change with the Democrats now in control of the House of Representatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure that I speak for my peers when I say that we are immensely grateful for a trip that went well beyond that of a typical law school experience. Wielding words and rhetoric, perhaps we, as the next generation of American attorneys, may be able to transform the narrative on immigration in our social fabric, and usher in a return to days where our asylum policies were based primarily on preserving an individual\u2019s unassailable human rights. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
