Joe Biden insists nation has 'never seen a circumstance where we have put people in cages'
By Sam Dorman | Fox News
Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to suggest Monday that former President Barack Obama's administration did not keep would-be immigrants in detention and holding facilities, a tactic referred to by immigration advocates as "putting kids in cages."
During an interview with CBS Miami, Biden responded to reporter Jim DeFede's question about the former vice president's plan to halt deportations during his first 100 days in office.
"We have to take time to take stock of exactly what's going on, who's where, what the truth is, and what's going on at the border," Biden said, later adding, "Jim, you've never seen a time when someone seeking asylum has to seek it from another country. You've never seen a circumstance where we have put people in cages."
Biden's comments appeared to reference the longstanding dispute over whether President Trump instituted the practice of keeping immigrants, notably children, in holding facilities.
