Biden promises moratorium on deportations as both candidates pledge lax enforcement of immigration law

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."

What a joke? Who is testing illegals for coronavirus? Nobody.

Lying Democrats made promises in 1986 about immigration as well.

This should be part of a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -

1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.
