| Joe Biden Vows To Freeze Key Aspects of Immigration Enforcement |
| What Happened: |
| Last Sunday, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders debated one-on-one for the first time. One of the key takeaways was Biden - the likely nominee - declaring his intention to run to the extreme left on immigration. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Biden pledged to halt deportations for the first 100 days of his presidency, and then only deport illegal immigrants who commit felonies on American soil. He also voiced support for Sanctuary Cities. This is definitely not your grandfather’s Democratic Party... |
| What Happens Next: |
| The Democratic Party seems to be embracing radical immigration positions: open borders, sanctuary cities, amnesty, the list goes on. Expect more of the same as election season ramps up. |
