Governor Maura Healey is a strong supporter of President Biden's plan to address the border crisis.
Biden's order issued yesterday would deny asylum to most migrants who try to enter the country.
Healey says the nation has needed action on the border and immigration reform for a long time.
Senator Ed Markey and Boston Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley are not supporting the plan.
“Limiting our ability to grant legal protection to asylum seekers is irresponsible and ill-advised.
The United States has long embraced its obligation to provide refuge to people fleeing persecution.
People fleeing violence and unstable conditions helped build the United States, and our country has recognized the duty to continue providing vulnerable populations safe harbor.
This asylum ban threatens this foundational promise and pushes the United States in the wrong direction," according to the Senator.
He is suggesting the President reconsider.
