Joe Biden's Immigration Plan
The former vice president should know better
By Andrew R. Arthur on January 3, 2020
Democratic candidate president Joe Biden has released his "Plan for Securing our Values as a Nation of Immigrants". It shares many of the worst ideas that I recently analyzed in Pete Buttigieg's immigration proposals, including amnesty, a weakening of our immigration system (both in the interior and along the border), and a reversal of the Trump administration's actions to ensure that aliens who would rely on the government dole for support are not admitted. As former vice president, however, he should understand the deleterious consequences of these proposals.
First, oddly enough, Biden ties himself to the failed "Gang of Eight" amnesty bill early on in his proposal, and then all but admits that the Obama administration (in which he served as vice president) simply decided to do administratively what it was unable to do legislatively:
