Biden backs off immigration BS of his campaign
President-elect Joe Biden skated his way to victory without ever being pressed by establishment media to defend or outline in explicit detail his immigration agenda.
Now, the Biden administration says several Trump administration immigration restrictions will remain in effect for the foreseeable future, breaking a major campaign promise that went totally unchallenged during the election.
Top Biden advisers told reporters Tuesday that it will "take time" to undo the Trump White House’s immigration policies, mimicking remarks made earlier this week by incoming domestic policy adviser Susan Rice and national security adviser nominee Jake Sullivan.
"We will be able to take some steps to change policies right away," Rice said. "Others will take time to put in place, and the situation at the border will not transform overnight due in large part to the damage done over the last four years. But we are committed to addressing it in full."
She added that no one should expect the border to be "fully open" any time soon.
This is a sharp contrast to the president-elect’s campaign promise to overturn at once the Trump White House’s more controversial immigration policies.
Sullivan, for his part, said there will likely be no immediate reversal of Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, even though Biden promised in January that he would put an end to the program on “Day One” of his administration.

The border is in better shape now than it ever was under the Obama-Biden administration and his campaign promises are already making the situation worse. The Democrats want open borders in order to steal House seats. They can't get enough Americans to support them so they are importing people who take jobs from American minorities.
