The Green Party of the United States is outraged over the recent illegal tear gas attacks on immigrants seeking legal asylum, as authorized by U.S. law, causing severe injury to asylees and creating mayhem in what should be an orderly process of intake and application.

It is important to note that this aggression against human beings attempting to carry out their rights under United States law echoes the attack on protesters at the Standing Rock Reservation during the struggle against the completion of the pipeline on sovereign Native American soil during 2016. 

The United States bears bipartisan responsibility for the regime change policy agenda that caused the political instability of the countries of Central America.  This mass migration of asylum seekers represent the "chickens coming home to roost," in terms of the policy of imperialism and neoliberalism creating an untenable situation for Central Americans.

Migration is a human right, and  now is the time for the United States to turn away from a foreign policy of interference with sovereign nations, so that the people of Latin America can live their lives autonomously, democratically and in peace and safety.
