Biden Takes a Stand for Immigrants as Trump Reiterates Anti-Immigration Policies.

During a Washington fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign, President Joe Biden emphasized the importance of immigrants in making the United States stronger. He criticized countries like India, China, Russia, and Japan for their xenophobic attitudes that he believes have stalled their economic growth. Biden emphasized that the US economy is growing because of immigrants and their contributions to society.

On the other hand, Biden’s opponent, former president Donald Trump, has been known for his anti-immigrant rhetoric. Trump has promised to crack down on illegal immigration and restrict legal migration if he is elected to office. He has often blamed immigrants for the rise of violence in the country.

Since taking office, Biden has taken a more humane stance on the issue of migrants. He has eased the Trump-era crackdown on migrants and introduced new “parole” policies that allow certain migrants to enter legally for humanitarian reasons. Despite this, Biden is facing criticism from voters over unemployment and immigration issues.

A recent poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that over half of US adults believe that Biden’s presidency has hurt the country in terms of the cost of living and immigration. This highlights the challenges that Biden faces in addressing these issues while promoting the contributions of immigrants to the United States. However, it remains to be seen how successful Biden will be in convincing voters to support his policies on immigration as he seeks re-election in 2024.
