Former Vice President Joe Biden is reluctant to admit that the Obama administration wasn’t spotless. The administration’s record of deportation, in particular, has already come to mar the shiny sheen of Obama’s legacy, and is emphasized by the Trump administration’s further villainization of immigrants, asylum seekers, and the undocumented. Yet Biden fails to realize that simply not being Trump is cold comfort to immigrants and activists, whose nightmare didn’t just begin when Trump entered the White House.
is reluctant to admit that the Obama administration wasn’t spotless. The administration’s record of deportation, in particular, has already come to mar the shiny sheen of Obama’s legacy, and is emphasized by the Trump administration’s further villainization of immigrants, asylum seekers, and the undocumented. Yet Biden fails to realize that simply not being Trump is cold comfort to immigrants and activists, whose nightmare didn’t just begin when Trump entered the White House.
Biden’s misunderstanding of the stakes was evident Thursday night during a town hall in Greenwood, South Carolina, where protesters from Coasecha Movement, an activist group dedicated to ending deportation, confronted him. How, they wondered, could he be trusted to protect their communities from predatory immigration policy when he defends the policies that were in place during the Obama administration? Biden’s response: Vote for Trump if you’re so pressed.
