More from David Cicilline
Let's speak with one voice and say America has an asylum system and individuals have a right to petition for it.
Secretly, I was always hoping I would be surprised it would move really quickly, but as a practical matter, I knew that was not the case.
It would put migrants in an uncertain dangerous situation as Mr. Cicilline said and would transfer our responsibilities to countries that have minimal resources.
the right to asylum is fundamentally under threat in the United States, which is a sad thing to say, given this Nation's history.
