Weighing in on immigration before first Democratic debates, Joe Biden is proposing that Congress grant immediate citizenship to more than 800,000 U.S. residents who were brought to the country illegally as children.
The former vice president and Democratic polling leader introduced some of his immigration priorities Monday in a newspaper op-ed that blisters President Donald Trump for an assault on the dignity of the Latino community through policies and rhetoric designed to scare voters in 2020.
Trump repeatedly invokes racist invective to describe anyone south of the Rio Grande, Biden writes, assailing him for actions that subvert our American values and our ability to lead on the global stage.
Biden, who launched his 2020 campaign in April, calls for streamlining the asylum system for migrants and spending more on electronic security at borders instead of building Trumps proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall. And he blasts Trumps latest threats of mass deportation and his decision to cut aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, three Central American nations that are sources of the increasing wave of migrants to the U.S. border.

Send them ALL home. They are illegal. If they have a problem with that, they can take it up with those who brought them here illegally. And, let’s not forget, these definitions are highly suspect. It includes someone without documentation, that claims to be 17.5 years old at time of entry. Who knows what their true age was, and frankly, I don’t care. Send them all back - they got here illegally and should not be rewarded with our sacred citizenship.
Giving them citizenship is the same as allowing the child of a Brinks robber to keep millions of dollars which were stolen, because it is not their fault their parents were robbers. No, we return the stolen money, put the robbers in jail, and the kids in a foster home. These “children” of illegals need to go home.
The Dems have done a one-eighty on border security and illegal immigration. Its always about Power and Party for them.
Would this be before or after the dreamers were all given O-care ‘health insurance’
Ay! Caramba!
Trump should provide a path to citizenship that includes the same stipulations that everyone else has to follow.
Along with zero social welfare assistance. If it has one citizen taxpayer penny funsing it, they cannot use it.
20 years is pretty nice of you. I was thinking 40.
Biden just another clown that just tell them what they want to hear for a vote then stick it to them member.
There’s always a sap that takes the bait.
Latino isn’t a race. Latinos can be white or black.
Why would Biden think the voters of this nation want a leader who does not respect our citizenship?
NOT MINE!!!!
Why don’t the Dem candidates just cut to the chase: Let’s enact a tax on rich people so that no American will need to spend any of their own money on anything, everything should be free and everyone’s debts should be absolved, oh and we should pay reparations to everyone.

Right...so the can vote for the demonrats. Corrupt assholes, all.
Another spit in the face for IMMIGRANTS...
Dem’s have refused 17 times in 50 days to do anything on immigration matters or the border....let them eat peas!
Bidens rolling on the wrong track!

I really wish that Freerepublic had a "Like" button. Spot on. Send them all back. Every. Single. One.
No amnesty.
DACA was never legal.
It has no basis in law.
They are still illegal aliens.
Deport them all.
Not necessarily. If they go back and improve the sh#$ hole from which they came, so that they don't continue to flood our country, I'd consider that a good investment.
Additionally, it sends a clear message. No matter what cutesy/emotional name our elitist media and (D)'s give to any portion of the foreign nationals here illegally, you will not get a pass, your kids will not get citizenship, you will not be rewarded.
The message must be clear. No reward for unlawful activity.
Give these kids citizenship, and they will petition for their parents! You watch. +1 "dreamer" becomes +2 or more citizens (parents, siblings still in the home country, grandparents) because congress will change the law from granting green cards to citizenship.
No more slippery slopes!
Frightening as that may be, what else explains the Dems universally insane immigration proposals?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bush League Republicans have the same insane ideas about immigration.
Flimsey Grahammnesty and Micro Rubio want to make them ALL citizens.
Make this a law. No one who enters this country illegally shall ever be granted citizenship. Some may be given permanent residency, but never citizenship.
The path to citizenship starts in their own country.
They ignored it.
No short cuts.
