Inicialmente con una vigencia hasta el miércoles 21 de diciembre de 2022, la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos alargó la vida del Artículo 42, una norma impuesta por Donald Trump durante la pandemia que permite al gobierno estadounidense expulsar rápidamente, y por motivos sanitarios, a los migrantes que llegan a la frontera con México. El gobierno de Biden da continuación a una política que atenta los derechos humanos y viola la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. La decisión de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos ha impactado la perspectiva de decenas de miles de personas en las zonas fronterizas, como la del Eje Ciudad Juárez (México) – El Paso (EUA). Se trata de una decisión que viola el derecho internacional que sume en la incertidumbre a los migrante, y que empeora aún más la crisis humanitaria de esta frontera. Así lo denuncia Fernando García, director de Border Network for Human Rights. “Tenemos una crisis humanitaria. Miles de familias, de niños, mujeres, de hombres que están en la frontera de los dos lados, se encuentran en situaciones precarias, expuestos un frio congelante, sin apoyos básicos como comida o agua. Y sin desde apoyo legales.” En entrevista con RFI, García detalló que esta crisis, que se extiende a lo largo y en ambos lados de la frontera, incremente cuando se toman en cuenta las infraestructuras hospitalarias de la región. “A pesar de que uno de esos migrantes logre ser procesado en la frontera y estar en los Estados Unidos, [esa persona] ahorita está durmiendo en la calle, afuera de las estaciones de autobuses”, destacó. El hecho de que a través del Artículo 42 se esté rechazando o expulsando a las personas que solicitan asilo político es “la primera violación a sus derechos”, afirma García. “Tenemos miles de decenas de personas y no se las ha sido escuchada su petición de asilo. Y han sido regresados a México y a otros países, sobre todo a México, sin protección. Entonces Estados Unidos está violando la ley internacional y los acuerdos y protocolos de asilo político”. “La segunda”, continúa García, “tiene que ver con los derechos legales de las personas que logran cruzar la frontera. Se supone que tienen el derecho a presentar su caso frente a una corte. Y aquí se están violando [sus derechos] porque rápidamente se les esta expulsado sin ningún proceso legal en los Estados Unidos: esto significa que también se viola la Constitución de los Estados Unidos”. Joe Biden prometió una reforma que permita obtener la ciudadanía a millones de migrantes, pero siempre se ha tropezado con el Senado, donde los demócratas cuentan con una mayoría muy ajustada. García destacó la esperanza de que la administración del presiden Biden fuese más humanas hacia la frontera y hacia los migrantes. “Sin embargo fue el propio presidente a través del departamento de justicia de Estados Unidos quienes impugnaron la eliminación del articulo 42, no solo fueron los gobernadores republicanos sino la propia administración que ha decidido seguir implementándolo”.  El presidente de los Estados Unidos se reunirá con su homólogo mexicano en enero de 2023.

AUSTIN, Texas - Border community activists testified against Operation Lone Star at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Border Security at the state capitol in Austin.Operation Lone Star is Gov. Greg Abbott's $4 billion border enforcement initiative that targets undocumented migrants for arrest, jail, and deportation. It has been in the national news because Abbott ordered state laws enforcement agencies to bus the undocumented immigrants they capture to other states in the nation. OLS has also come under scrutiny for the money it has burned through. Some estimates say the initiative is costing $2.5 million per week, with funding being moved to the operation from other state agencies. Legislators such as state Sen. Juan Hinojosa of McAllen have questioned its sustainability.Among the border and immigrant rights groups to testify at the Senate Committee on Border Security hearing were La Unión Del Pueblo Entero, the Border Network for Human Rights, and Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance. They argue Operation Lone Star is unconstitutional because border security is a responsibility of the federal government. They say the operation has been designed to criminalize and rapidly deport migrants, many of whom are seeking safety in the U.S. In their testimony, the border community activists said OLS promotes racial profiling, fuels the mass incarceration of people of color, and encourages white supremacy rhetoric. They argue the money given to OLS would be better spent on street lights, healthcare, and workforce training.The border advocates called on members of the committee to visit the border and see how Colonia residents live in fear. They also want to be invited to speak at future hearings as a recognized panel, just like ranchers and farmers were at a hearing in Eagle Pass. Instead, the advocates had to sign up to testify in the public comment period and were limited to three minutes of oral testimony.Here is some of their testimony.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

Mexican border residents and members of the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR) march on a road towards a detention center for migrants at the border between the U.S and Mexico in El Paso, Texas, August 24, 2014. REUTERS/Jose Luis Gonzalez In the 1990 romantic comedy Green Card, an American girl played by Andie MacDowell marries French guy Gérard Depardieu. It’s a win-win. He gets citizenship. She gets to put “married” on an application for a fabulous Manhattan apartment that weirdly requires she not be single. » Subscribe in iTunes » Subscribe using RSS Marriage and citizenship often go hand in hand in the U.S. Our immigration system privileges people with family ties to this country. But there’s an exception to the rule. And this exception has affected about half a million people, according to immigration experts. It’s a law, known as the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which says that anyone who enters the U.S. illegally, stays for more than a year and then returns to their native country, is barred from entering the U.S. for 10 years. And if they’ve entered the U.S. illegally more than once, it’s a lifetime bar. For this week’s Shortwave, P.J. Tobia interviews a family that’s been barred for years under this act from returning to the United States. Last month we reported on deported veterans of the U.S. military. You can listen to that episode here. The post When marriage and citizenship don’t go hand in hand appeared first on PBS NewsHour.
