Biden on Univision: Deporting 3 million 'was a big mistake' (Pander 2020)
The Hill ^ | 02 15 2020 | J. Edward Moreno

Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said the fact Obama administration deported 3 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom had no criminal records, “was a big mistake.”

“We took far too long to get it right,” Biden said in a Friday interview with Univision’s Jorge Ramos in Henderson, Nevada.

Biden said the administration did not begin to “get it right” with regard to immigration until after its first term. The former vice president also did dispute that the administration deported more people than any administration before them as well as the Trump administration, though that fact has been widely reported on since both he and Obama left office.

“The point is, there were too many,” he conceded. “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.”

“But it wasn’t until 2012 that we began to get it right with the DACA program and trying very much in 2014 to expand that and moving in the right direction,” he said.

Should have been ≥ 10,000,000

Amen!

Did they really deport 3 million ... or was it half a million, 6 times each?

“Biden on Univision: Deporting 3 million ‘was a big mistake’ (Pander 2020)”

Voting for Joe Birdbrain would be an even bigger mistake.

So, he,’s relegated to Univision now?

He’s probably hoping to run into some of their female soap opera stars,
and getting in a little hairsniffing and boob snatching while he’s there.

Did Obama really deport so many? Yep. You have to ask yourself why would HE be afraid of millions of foreigners flooding into the USA on his watch with zero accountability.

I stop there.

Think! Dammit. Think!

And the stupid Jorge Ramos’s of the world fall for it. That’s the real issue here. Biden panders to the fools who fall for it.
