Joe Biden’s campaign platform is beginning to creep out of his basement. That was the opening line to my Aug. 5 Pilot article, “Joe Biden Does Not Offer New Ideas On Education.†For those who missed it, Biden got an “F†on education. This time, let’s look at a second pressing national issue: immigration.
Professors from MIT and Yale estimated in September 2018 that as many as 22.1 million undocumented aliens could be in the U.S. A nation that cannot secure its borders against drug traffic, criminals, gangs, human trafficking and illegal aliens has a serious national security problem.
President Trump has worked this issue and managed to bring immigration under reasonable control. In a recent news conference, President Trump outlined 42 things Biden will do if elected. Nineteen of them had to do with immigration.
The fact-checkers and main-stream media went crazy, saying there is nothing in Biden’s platform that says he will take those actions. That is correct; Biden will not run on open borders and amnesty-for-all. But President Trump is also correct; if Biden is elected, he will execute these actions.
For decades the Democratic Party has been synonymous with identity politics, particularly Black American voters. Additionally, for several years they have seen the Hispanic community, especially those in this country illegally, as a new political identity target.
