Biden’s border policies are long-standing and humane | READER COMMENTARY

In recent letters to the editor (“President’s border policy is a joke,” June 10; “Biden is the one not serious about border security,” June 9), critics of President Joe Biden falsely claim his interest in the southern border is a recent phenomenon.

The Biden administration has issued 535 proclamations on immigration in his first three years of office. I certainly don’t agree with every proclamation of the Biden administration on the subject of immigration but the campaign promise Biden has kept is to steer clear of the human rights abuses of his predecessor such as child separation and “Remain in Mexico” policies, which were purposefully calculated to inflict horrifying brutality on the most desperate of humanity.

This is why you will never hear of any nativist who can demonstrate one iota of personal harm in the processing of asylum applications, work permits and parole authority by the Biden administration.  I would be willing to bet the farm these critics have sustained zero personal inconvenience.
