Joe Biden has had a two-word answer lately to questions about his record on civil rights and race: Barack Obama. But when it comes to Latinos and immigration, Biden is learning that the Obama defense doesn’t do the trick
MILWAUKEE — Joe Biden has had a two-word retort to recent questions about his record on civil rights and race: Barack Obama.
So far, Biden has pursued an overall strategy of latching himself to Obama. Asked about the deportations of more than 3 million people at last month’s debate, Biden said: “President Obama, I think, did a heck of a job,” before contrasting the former president with Trump. Julián Castro, Biden’s 2020 opponent who served as secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Obama administration, told reporters on the sidelines of the Latino citizens group’s convention Thursday that the Obama administration went too far on immigration.Asked whether Biden would have to more fully explain the Obama deportations, Castro said: “That’s inevitable.
“While Trump is responsible for the current immigration crisis, we can’t ignore that Democrats have a choice to embrace the Obama legacy or choose to address the immigration issue in a humane way,” said Carlos Rojas, one of the protest organizers, who said the organization was demanding an apology from Biden. The group also released a statement: “We can't go back to a status quo of silent mass deportations or kids in slightly better cages.
