Democratic debate: Joe Biden comes under attack on immigration

LA Times  

Former Vice President Joe Biden came under intense fire from rivals over immigration in the Democratic presidential debate on Wednesday as he was pressured to answer for deportations under the Obama administration. Which one?” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio asked Biden after the former vice president twice sidestepped questions on the matter. Borrowing President Trump’s vulgar description of African nations, he added: “Some are from ‘shithole’ countries and some are from worthy countries.” During Obama’s eight years in the White House, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported roughly 2.8 million people, according to the agency’s statistics. Harris recalled her visit last month to a privately operated federal detention center for children of migrants in Homestead, Fla. “These children have not committed crimes and should not be treated like criminals,” she said.
