In a September 2014 press conference President Obama talked about fining illegal immigrants and making them go to the “back of the line”. Trump and Obama both noticed a problem and wanted to fix it. Biden and Harris don’t care.
Did Obama’s call for fines lead to a “national outcry”? Obama “prioritized deporting” of people convicted of serious crimes. Can we include drug smugglers and human traffickers? Cecilia Muñoz, who was a top domestic policy adviser to Obama, said “If you’re not targeting and focused on people who recently arrived, then the border is effectively open”. Through 2018 Trump had not “reached anywhere near the level of interior removals as the early Obama administration”. Are we allowed to compare these policies and ideals to Biden? He was the vice president at the time.

“You know what? They came in illegally. They have to go out,” he told reporters Friday as he confirmed that planned immigration raids would go ahead in certain cities starting this weekend.
That’s triggered a national outcry and anxiety in immigrant communities.
But immigration advocacy groups criticized then-President Barack Obama as the “deporter in chief” during his bid for reelection in 2012. It’s a perception that former Vice President Joe Biden will have to answer for as he campaigns to carry on Obama’s legacy.
They all have the effect of a deportation, but there are more legal consequences for a removal than for a return. In totality, President George W. Bush deported even more people than Obama – and President Bill Clinton deported more than Bush.
She argues that Obama prioritized deporting people convicted of serious crimes and recent arrivals who had no criminal records.
“If you’re not targeting and focused on people who recently arrived, then the border is effectively open,” Muñoz said
However, Trump still has not reached anywhere near the level of interior removals as the early Obama administration, according to Cato’s analysis of data through 2018.
That has created a headache for Biden, who is now paying a political price for that Obama record.
