Biden distances himself from Trump: “I will not demonize immigrants or separate families”

The American president, Joe Bidendistanced himself this Thursday from his predecessor, the Republican donald trump (2017-2021), stressing that its immigration policy will not demonize immigrants nor will it separate families.

“That’s what I’m not going to do. I will not demonize immigrants by saying they ‘poison the blood of our country’, as he himself said. I will not separate families. I will not prohibit entry into U.S to people for their faith“, he said in his speech at the state of the Union.

Biden thus reiterated the need for Congress push forward a bipartisan legislative agreement that they believe will resolve the immigration system, despite humanitarian organizations criticizing that it imposes greater restrictions on the country’s southern border in exchange for a new economic aid package for Ukraine.

“This is the United States. We all come from somewhere, but we are all Americans. We can fight at the border or we can fix this. I’m ready to fix this. Send me the law at the border now!”, he appealed to congressmen.

The bipartisan agreement collapsed in the Senate due to opposition from Republicans, pressured by donald trump and his public rejection of that pact, and since then Biden’s calls for both sides to come together and unblock it have been constant.
