  • I started up the asylum office in September 2017

  • and I was an asylum officer for two years.

  • I was asked to do work that I believe

  • to be illegal and immoral.

  • Ultimately I had to voice my dissent

  • and quit.

  • And the asylum program is a scam.

  • I didn’t think of myself as a whistle-blower

  • but I guess, I guess I am.

  • Most victims of gang violence and domestic abuse

  • will not qualify for asylum.

  • Before I sat down and really figured out

  • that it was illegal, I was able to sort of disassociate.

  • It’s just another bad thing that was happening

  • by this administration but it didn’t directly affect me.

  • Trump has proposed charging a fee to process

  • the legal asylum applications.

  • Our country is full.

  • Can’t take it anymore. I’m sorry, can’t

  • happen, so turn around.

  • That’s the way it is.

  • The government is sending them back to Mexico.

  • It’s an expansion of the controversial

  • Remain in Mexico policy.

  • The administration is clearly trying to destroy the asylum

  • program.

  • The standard for asylum was essentially

  • a 1 in 10 chance of being persecuted in your home country.

  • But with Remain in Mexico, the entire nature

  • of the work changed.

  • The level of proof that we are requiring of people to show

  • that they would be harmed in Mexico

  • is much, much, much, much higher.

  • A migrant has to show that it’s

  • more likely than not, through a phone line that’s

  • disconnecting, actively denying them access to a lawyer,

  • not giving them any time to rest, not giving them

  • any chance to gather or produce evidence.

  • Everybody fails.

  • I knew by leaving

  • I was just another individual that

  • was protesting and leaving and making

  • the office that much weaker.

  • So I have guilt I think for that and I

  • have guilt for not pushing the issue further

  • while I was still an asylum officer.

  • I heard stories from other asylum officers

  • where they interviewed people who were literally

  • raped by the police in Mexico and then

  • the supervisors were saying, “That’s not enough.”

  • That you haven’t shown maybe that you can’t move somewhere

  • else in Mexico.

  • So even though youve clearly been harmed in Mexico

  • by the government in Mexico, were

  • going to say you can still safely live in Mexico.

  • I was both very sad and angry at the same time

  • because what is the purpose of this?

  • It was like this little window into how bad

  • things happen in the world.

  • This is how you get a group of good people

  • that are in a position to try and do good and slowly

  • pivot them to do bad.

  • This isn’t a partisan issue.

  • It is in Congress’s power to stop

  • these illegal activities.

  • I mean, this is a question of who

  • we are as Americans, right?

  • This is a question of whether we continue

  • we continue to shut our door on people in need

  • and to reject individuals that we say were going to accept

  • on the Statue of Liberty, or if we

  • embrace the ideal of America that we all

  • want to believe in.

  • Were just rejecting it, were destroying that ideal

  • and were becoming the opposite.
