Border crisis: Biden now tells migrants 'Don't come' but had a different message in a 2019 debate
Fox News
President Biden, during a 2019 Democratic presidential primary debate, said that the United States is a country that tells people struggling under oppression or poor conditions that "you should come," as he argued for a more open asylum policy.
"They deserve to be heard. That's who we are," Biden said of those applying for asylum in a 2019 debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come.'" This year, as Republicans blame Biden's campaign rhetoric and policies for the situation at the border, the president has shifted and is telling migrants that they should stay in their home countries as he aims to let them apply for asylum where they are.More Related News
