No Undocumented Immigrants Will Be Deported In My Administration - Joe Biden 2020

Before the 2020 election, Biden said exactly what he was going to do with immigration if he were to win.

Biden: We can deal with securing the border by national technical means.

The all the bad things are coming through ports of entry right now.

We don't need a wall.

And by the way, I would immediately, as President surge to the border.

I would end this notion for the first time in history that people seeking asylum have to be in squalor on the other side of the river and in a desperate situation they should be able to come to the United States and have a judgment made as whether or not they qualify.

I would also surge to the border, Immigration judges to make decisions immediately and no one, no one would be put in jail while waiting for their hearing.

Moderator: Should undocumented immigrants arrested by local police be turned over to immigration officials?

Biden: No.

In the 1st 100 days of my administration, no one, no one will be deported at all.

From that point on, the only deportations that will take place are commissions of felonies in the United States of America.

Moderator: So to be clear, only felons get deported and everyone else gets to stay.

Biden: Yes
