Going further than he ever has in expressing regret over Obama administration immigration policy, presidential candidate Joe Biden called it a “big mistake” to have deported hundreds of thousands of people without criminal records.
“We took far too long to get it right,” Biden said in a wide-ranging, sometimes contentious interview with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. The former vice president later added: “I think it was a big mistake. Took too long to get it right.”
In written statements included as part of Biden’s proposed immigration overhaul, the campaign already had acknowledged “pain” surrounding deportations that occurred when he served as President Barack Obama’s vice president. But the candidate himself had not so clearly stated his personal regrets.
The 20-minute interview was posted to Ramos’ Facebook page, and Biden aides said portions would be broadcast in coming days on Univision as Biden and his Democratic presidential rivals campaigned in Nevada ahead of the Feb. 22 caucuses, the third nominating contest and the first with a significant Latino population.
Biden emphasized to Ramos his proposals to expand legal immigration, bolster the asylum process and end construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Joe; so slow and getting slower. Trump won on being stronger on securing the border and preventing illegals from getting in. The 30 million illegals in America today need to go home and apply for legal entry. It doesn’t get any more simple than that.
wtf? Its the law.
What a freaking lie!
Obama changed the way immigration statistics were reported.
People who attempted to enter the USA legally - but were turned away at USA border stations - were counted as being “deported” under Obama.
Does the old stooge have a single position he has not reversed himself on?
