Biden under fire for mass deportations under Obama

MILWAUKEE — Joe Biden has had a two-word retort to recent questions about his record on civil rights and race: Barack Obama.

So far, Biden has pursued an overall strategy of latching himself to Obama. Asked about the deportations of more than 3 million people at last month’s debate, Biden said: “President Obama, I think, did a heck of a job,” before contrasting the former president with Trump. Julián Castro, Biden’s 2020 opponent who served as secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Obama administration, told reporters on the sidelines of the Latino citizens group’s convention Thursday that the Obama administration went too far on immigration.Asked whether Biden would have to more fully explain the Obama deportations, Castro said: “That’s inevitable.

“While Trump is responsible for the current immigration crisis, we can’t ignore that Democrats have a choice to embrace the Obama legacy or choose to address the immigration issue in a humane way,” said Carlos Rojas, one of the protest organizers, who said the organization was demanding an apology from Biden. The group also released a statement: “We can't go back to a status quo of silent mass deportations or kids in slightly better cages.

NaphiSoc The polls say otherwise, but you have to write something.

Joe can't hide behind Obama anymore. If he wants to be president, he needs his own platform harris2020

They've been trying to fix, manage, understand the immigration issues since the 1900's where they made them stay in Ellis Island. Obama and Biden did what they could which wasn't great. But deliberately mistreating people as a deterrent was never an option because it is immoral.

Give me a break; are they happier with the cages?That so called grim reaper and his gang did not cooperate. What were they supposed to do?

No he’s not and won’t be. Biden and Obama upheld our immigration laws.

Fair point

No shit. Those groups are under fire right now.

TheDemocrats are eating their own. Who could really have a majority at next years convention?

Weird how Latinos move away from Latinos and then want to import more Latinos.

Well Obama did have his 'manufactured crisis' in 2014 but the DNC controlled media was forbidden to go after Obama.

stop going after the candidate way the most likely to beat Trump!

You forgot Latinas. XP NO HYSPANIC SUPREMECY! DEPORT FAST!

If public polling is to be believed, a really big majority of Latinos are strongly against illegal immigration, so my questions are: 1) What Latinos are 'demanding' this? and 2) Are lbarronlopez and AlxThomp just fake-newsing and pulling this nonsense out of their asses?

Should the citizenship question be included in 2020 census?

Protesters interrupted a New Hampshire campaign stop today and railed against Biden on deportations

The only record that matters for the nominee is can he/she beat Trump in electoral votes.

I know many have said Biden is the candidate to beat Trump. However, I know Republican moderates who didn't want to vote for Trump but would NOT vote for Hilary because they felt she represented more Obama type policies. Joe's Obama platform won't get their vote either in 2020.

and that is the reason why JoeBiden is the Democrats best way to surely beat trump...the base & majority of the party is moderate & we support allowing immigrants to come into the country based on the rule of law while enforcing immigration laws & being compassionate doing it

political is fake and it's obvs... clickbait reporting...

Bernie does not come with all this problematic history. Let’s just get him through these rigged primaries and we will have a Democratic President in 2020. PresidentSanders

Joe's record speaks for itself. He's a stand up guy. A man of all the people.

This is where I feel lost w Democrats. They don’t want to deport? What is their plan? Seriously? How do they plan to tackle immigration?

If he thinks the name 'Obama' is going to get him votes from People of Color, he has another thought coming. He couldn't get votes from People of Color BEFORE Obama and he won't get them AFTER Obama because he doesn't relate to Black and Brown folks. JoeBiden
