Biden promises moratorium on deportations as both candidates pledge lax enforcement of immigration law
Washington Examiner ^ | March 16, 2020 | Byron York

Posted on 03/16/2020 6:08:07 AM PDT by karpov

At his one-on-one debate with Bernie Sanders Sunday night, Joe Biden said that if he becomes president, his administration will not deport anyone -- no one, under any circumstances -- during his first 100 days in office. After that, Biden said, he will only deport those who have committed felonies in the United States.

"In the first 100 days of my administration, no one, no one will be deported at all," Biden said during the debate televised by CNN. "From that point on, the only deportations that will take place are commissions of felonies in the United States of America."

"So to be clear, only felons get deported and everyone else gets to stay?" asked Univision's Ilia Calderon.

"Period, yes," Biden said.

Biden's promise, which he had been making on the stump before the recent pause in campaigning, is consistent with the Democratic Party's move to the left on immigration in the last few years. Various bipartisan proposals in the past would have barred illegal immigrants from staying in the U.S. if they had a felony or three misdemeanor convictions. Now, Biden says that only a felony committed in the United States -- and that would surely mean only a felony conviction, not an arrest, and only after full appeals -- would result in the deportation of anyone.

Biden's move occurred in February, as he sought to keep his campaign alive in the Nevada caucuses. In an interview with Univision's Jorge Ramos, the former vice president said the Obama administration was too quick to deport people who were in the United States illegally. "There were too many [deportations]," Biden said. "I saw the pain in the eyes of so many people who saw their families being deported. I know what it's like to lose family members. It was painful."

If the prison term of a convicted felon and illegal alien ends in the first 100 days, would Biden just have him released into the general population? If an illegal alien has committed murder in another country and escapes here, will we not deport him? Biden said that after first 100 days "he will only deport those who have committed felonies in the United States". He is not a moderate.

Also, the Hispanic lady driving the immigration pander-fest repeated the “11,000,000 illegals in this country” fairy tale.

Biden and Bernie took it as gospel without a blink.

Bernie said “It’s ridiculous to think we’d have open borders.” But then they both went on to say that was exactly what their policy would be.

“There were too many [deportations],” Biden said. “I saw the pain in the eyes of so many people who saw their families being deported. I know what it’s like to lose family members. It was painful.”

Joe, I didn’t know your family members had been deported...

What he is saying is vote for me, even if you are here illegally? How blatant can one get, and get away with it? (rhet.) Democrats in this election cycle = Total Desperation!

C'mon, man. You're going to break immigration laws on the books? Bet you get 3 more votes for this pandering.

Pandering for the illegal alien vote which aren’t supposed to be voting in the first place. Of course, 0bama told them this is was their (illegals) constitutional right to break the law and vote.

I wonder how they will pander for the dead people vote?

“What if an illegal alien has the corona virus?”

Yep. What I was thinking. Boasting about loosening border restrictions with what’s going on right now is particularly bad timing IMO. So I’m glad they did it.

I guess laws will not be enforced if Biden is president? That will really help.

They actually don’t make the connection. It’s like “that does not compute”.
