Biden - Harris positions on key issues
Here are some of the Biden - Harris positions on key issues, including immigration law enforcement.
Joe Biden Told Voters the Second Amendment DOES NOT Protect an Individual Right, NRL-ILA, September 21, 2020:
During a September 2019 “townhall” hosted by New Hampshire ABC affiliate WMUR, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden made clear that he does not believe the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms and that the U.S. Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller was incorrect....
Biden responded in part, “If I were on the court I wouldn’t have made the same ruling. OK, that’s number one.”...
Aside from his denunciation of Heller and denial that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, Biden also displayed a fundamental misunderstanding of the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment was not “given as a right”by the U.S. Constitution. Rather, as the U.S. Supreme Court made clear in Heller, the Second Amendment protects a right that pre-existed the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights....
Such recognition of the Second Amendment was conspicuously absent from the 2016 and 2020 versions of the platform. ...
From Trump and Biden on immigration: nearly opposite, but not quite, La Times, August 17, 2020:
- Joe Biden’s proposed immigration platform aims to undo Trump’s “misguided policies” by taking an opposing position on just about every one of the president’s efforts to curb immigration...
- Biden would expand protections for immigrants [illegal aliens] and restore many of the Obama-era policies overturned by Trump.
- Biden has said that during his first 100 days in office he would end Trump’s national emergency declaration, which has rerouted billions in federal funds to the border wall...
- He’s promised that in his first 100 days he would prioritize family reunifications, reinstate the DACA program and rescind the Trump administration’s travel ban on many Muslim-majority countries...
- Biden promises to work with Congress to increase the number of employment-based immigration visas and triple the number of U visas granted to victims of human trafficking and certain other crimes. He’s also vowed to raise the annual refugee admissions to 125,000...
- He proposes a four-year, $4-billion regional plan that, in collaboration with leaders in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, would target corruption... To pay for the United States’ investment in the plan, Biden would use funds from the Department of Homeland Security’s budget for the detention of migrants...
- In July, the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Forces, a combination of supporters of Biden and his former primary rival Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, offered platform recommendations that included protecting the parents of Dreamers under the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, or DAPA...
- Biden expressed remorse for the millions of deportations the Obama administration carried out, calling the policies a “big mistake.”...
- Biden has said healthcare coverage should be available for everyone, no matter their legal status. His campaign said he supports allowing immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally [illegal aliens] to buy unsubsidized coverage...
- The Biden-Sanders task forces recommend extending Affordable Care Act coverage to DACA recipients...
The Biden Plan for Securing Our Values as a Nation of Immigrants, September 7, 2020:
- ... Biden will forcefully pursue policies that... Take urgent action to undo Trump’s damage...
- As Vice President, Biden championed the creation and expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program; the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) progra...
- Immediately reverse the Trump Administration’s cruel and senseless policies that separate parents from their children at our border...
- End the mismanagement of the asylum system, which fuels violence and chaos at the border. Trump’s disastrous policy of “metering” — limiting the number of asylum applications accepted each day ...
- Reverse Trump’s public charge rule...
- End the so-called National Emergency that siphons federal dollars from the Department of Defense to build a wall....
- Protect Dreamers and their families...
- Rescind the un-American travel and refugee bans, also referred to as “Muslim bans.”...
- Creates a roadmap to citizenship for the nearly 11 million [a significantly low estimate] people [illegal aliens] who have been living in and strengthening our country for years...
- Provides a path to legalization [amnesty] for agricultural workers who have worked for years on U.S. farms...
- Preserves preferences for diversity in the current system. Trump has set his sights on abolishing the Diversity Visa lottery....
- Increases the number of visas offered for permanent, work-based immigration [H-1b visas]...
- Increase the number of refugees we welcome into the country...
From Joe Biden’s Agenda for the Indian American Community, September 7, 2020:
- Biden will rescind Trump’s “Muslim ban” on day one and reverse the detrimental asylum policies that are causing chaos and a humanitarian crisis at our border. He will immediately begin working with Congress to pass legislative immigration reform that modernizes our system, with a priority on keeping families together by providing a roadmap to citizenship for nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants [illegal aliens]....
- Biden will support family-based immigration and preserve family unification as a core principle of our immigration system, which includes reducing the family visa backlog. He will increase the number of visas offered for permanent, work-based immigration...
- Biden will support family-based immigration and preserve family unification as a core principle of our immigration system, which includes reducing the family visa backlog. He will increase the number of visas offered for permanent, work-based immigration...

- ... a decent wage, at least $15 per hour...
- ... Joe Biden will make new, bold investments and speed up the timetable for many of the 10-year investments he has already announced. He will pay for the ongoing costs of the plan by reversing some of Trump’s tax cuts for corporations and imposing common-sense tax reforms that finally make sure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share. ...
From The Biden Plan to Build Back Better by Advancing Racial Equity Across the American Economy, September 7, 2020:
- Spur more than $50 billion in additional public-private venture capital to Black and Brown entrepreneurs...
- Expand access to $100 billion in low-interest business loans by funding state, local, tribal and non-profit lending programs in Black and Brown communities...
- ... requiring U.S. corporations with over $1 billion in revenues that receive federal financing or incentives for their global business to publicize data on their use of firms owned by Black and Brown Americans in their supply chains;...
- ... Eliminate local and state housing regulations that perpetuate discrimination. Exclusionary zoning has for decades been strategically used to keep Black and Brown people and low-income families out of certain communities. Among other steps, Biden will enact legislation requiring any state receiving federal dollars through the Community Development Block Grants or Surface Transportation Block Grants to develop a strategy for inclusionary zoning, as proposed in the HOME Act of 2019 by Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and Senator Cory Booker.... See Joe Biden’s full housing plan.

- The [economic recovery] plan will cost $775 billion over 10 years and will be paid for by rolling back unproductive and unequal tax breaks for real estate investors with incomes over $400,000 and taking steps to increase tax compliance for high-income earners.
From The Biden Plan to Build a Modern, Sustainable Infrastructure and an Equitable Clean Energy Future, September 7, 2020:
- Ensure that environmental justice is a key consideration in where, how, and with whom we build...
- Require that companies receiving procurement contracts are using taxpayer dollars to support good American jobs, including a commitment to pay at least $15 per hour, provide paid leave, maintain fair overtime and scheduling practices, and guarantee a choice to join a union and bargain collectively.

- Biden will restore Obama's guidance for college tribunals on sexual misconduct....
- Biden will reinstate Obama's heavy-handed transgender "bathroom directive."...

Biden - Harris positions on Second Amendment
Note that in the debate video in the above article, both Biden and Harris are intent upon issuing an "assault weapons" ban.
An assult weapon is a weapon used by the military that when you press the trigger, the weapon goes bang, bang, bang... until you release the trigger or you run out of ammunition. This is termed automatic fire. Assault weapons are already restricted to civilians.
A standard carbine, such as an AR-15 or AK-47, when sold to civilians, will go bang only one time each time you press the trigger. This is termed semi-automatic fire.
Biden - Harris intend to ban standard, non-military weapons from civilian ownership. Notice the duplicitous use of terminology. As Biden says in the second video, "Bingo!"

Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations
On or about July 7, 2020, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders released a consolidated platform in a 110 page report called the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations.
Here are key items from the platform:
9 Radical Ideas in the Biden-Sanders ‘Unity’ Platform, Brietbart, July 9, 2020:
1. “Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement … on Day One.”...
2. Shift the entire “fleet of 500,000 school buses to American-made, zero-emission alternatives” in five years....
3. “End cash bail.” ...
4. “Stop the practice of arresting children for behavior that ought to be handled in the principal’s office.”...
5. “We will repeal so-called ‘right to work’ laws.”...
6. “Democrats will recognize unions with majority sign-up—via so-called ‘card check’ processes.” ...
7. “Oppose private school vouchers.”...
8. Provide a “public option” toward universal health care....
9. End the border wall and “provide a roadmap to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers.”... [That is, issue mass amnesty to the 20 million to 38 million illegal aliens residing in Amerrica.]
Joe Biden Joins Forces with Bernie Sanders and AOC in New Platform, The Heartland Institute, July 9, 2020:
On July 6, just two days after Americans celebrated the nation’s 244th birthday, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said, “We have an incredible opportunity to not just dig out of this crisis, but to fundamentally transform the country.”
Two days later, Biden released his plan to transform America in the form of a 110-page document titled “Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations.” Shortly after the document was released, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Joe Biden would be “the most progressive president since FDR.” That is quite a statement....
Below is a brief summary....
“Combating the Climate Crisis and Pursuing Environmental Justice”: This section is basically a rehash of the Green New Deal....
“Protecting Communities by Reforming Our Criminal Justice System”... To accomplish their goal of overhauling the system, the task force says, “We must start by preventing people from entering the criminal justice system in the first place.” In other words, we should stop arresting criminals....
This section also advises that we must “reimagine policing.” As stated, this reimagination would also include severe cuts to police departments, which parallels the ridiculous “Defund the Police” movement....
“Building A Stronger, Fairer Economy”: This section could easily be mistaken for The Communist Manifesto....
“Providing A World-Class Education in Every Zip Code”... ;By vital investments they mean, give teachers unions more money. There is not one mention of school choice in the entire document, except for eliminating vouchers and other education choice initiatives....
“Health Care Unity Task Force Recommendations”: In a nutshell, “The Task Force recommends Democrats meet this moment by guaranteeing free or low-cost health care coverage for every American, including by expanding Medicaid... “As a Task Force and as Democrats, we fundamentally believe health care is a right for all, not a privilege for the few. That is why we will also remove barriers to allow states to access federal funds to implement models that move toward universal health care.”
“Immigration Unity Task Force Recommendations”: Last but not least, the task force recommends, “We will work with Congress to reform our immigration system to provide a roadmap to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented...

Fact Check: 19 False Claims in Barack Obama’s Speech for Joe Biden in Florida
President Barack Obama delivered a speech in Florida on behalf of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Saturday, in the course of which he stated at least nineteen false claims about President Donald Trump and his record.
From the transcript:
1. “He doesn’t have a plan” for coronavirus. ...the president did, in fact, specifically mention Operation Warp Speed, his plan to develop and distribute a coronavirus vaccine quickly.
2. Trump couldn’t answer Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes when she asked, “What’s your priority in your second term?” In fact, Trump answered her: “The priority now is to get back to normal, get back to where we were, to have the economy rage and be great with jobs and everybody be happy. And that’s where we’re going and that’s where we’re heading.”
3. “He doesn’t even acknowledge that there’s a problem” (i.e. coronavirus). This is obviously not true, and provably so. Trump even talked about coronavirus in his State of the Union address, which Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) ripped in two.
4. Trump said “if you put some bleach in you, that might clean things up.” Trump never said that....
5. “America created 1.5 million more jobs in the last year of the Obama-Biden administration than in the first three years of the Trump-Pence administration.” Obama seems to be saying that more jobs were created in 2016 than in 2017, 2018, and 2019 combined, which is demonstrably untrue...
6. Black unemployment went down, but “not because Donald Trump did anything.” It is possible to credit several Trump policies with lowering black unemployment, especially immigration enforcement...
7. “The only people truly better off than they were four years ago are the billionaires who got Trump tax cuts.” A Gallup poll recently found that 56% of registered voters said they were better off than they were four years ago, which is a record high....
8. “He barely pays income taxes.” In fact, Trump pays tens of millions of dollars in taxes, despite losses in some years.
9. Trump has “secret Chinese bank accounts.” The Trump hotel chain used a legal bank account to pay taxes in China when it made licensing deals....
10. “His first year in the White House he only paid $750 in federal income tax.” Trump paid over seven million dollars in taxes in 2017...
11. Trump has no plan “when it comes to preexisting conditions.” The president... issued an executive order laying out his plan in September.
12. Trump “drove up costs” under Obamacare. Actually, Obamacare premiums have been falling under Trump.
13. Trump said: “We hope the Supreme Court takes your health insurance away.” Trump never said that...
14. Trump is “MIA” when “Russia puts bounties on the heads of our brave soldiers in Afghanistan.” The Pentagon said that there was never “corroborating evidence” of a supposed Russian program to pay bounties for killing U.S. soldiers.
15. “Joe Biden would never call the men and women of our military suckers and losers.” Neither would Trump, because it never happened. Biden did call U.S. troops “stupid bastards,” however....
16. Trump asked if we could “nuke hurricanes.” Even Snopes.com regards this claim as “unproven.”...
17. Trump “cannot call out or even criticize white supremacists.” This divisive, false claim is also easily disproven.
18. Trump “threatens people with jail for just criticizing him.” This does not appear to have ever happened. Trump did threaten a reporter with prison time — after he defied instructions not to photograph a classified letter from Jim Kong-un. It was the Obama administration, that tried to prosecute journalist James Risen of the New York Times, and which jailed an obscure filmmaker after it blamed an obscure anti-Islamic YouTube video for the Benghazi terror attack in September 2012.
19. The EPA is “giving polluters free reign to dump unlimited poison into our air and water.” Demonstrably untrue....

- While both Trump and Biden want to boost economic growth and reduce unemployment, their approaches are radically different.
- Trump wants to grow the economy by reducing taxes and regulation, whereas Biden seeks to achieve this through increased government spending and investment
- In this report, we try to assess the impact of their policy plans on a range of macroeconomic variables, such as GDP, real income, public debt and trade
- A second term for President Trump would leave our baseline scenario for US GDP growth and the public debt largely unchanged. The upward effect on GDP growth from additional Trump tax cuts would be offset by the cuts in government spending aimed at stabilizing the public debt to GDP ratio
- The tax relief in the Trump administration’s plans results in a rapid pickup of real personal disposable income in the aftermath of the corona crisis from $43,350 per capita by the end of this year to roughly $47,000 in 2025, which is $1,000 more than in our baseline
- Unemployment and trade under Trump would roughly follow the same trajectory as in our baseline
- The Biden plan would boost GDP growth, but also the trajectory of public debt to GDP. In the long run, we expect the US economy to be larger by 3.8% to 4.6% due to the Biden plan tapping into the endogenous growth potential of the economy. However, we expect public debt to arrive at somewhere between 164% and 170% of GDP, which is much higher than the 147% in our baseline scenario
- As Biden imposes higher taxes, by 2025 we project real disposable personal income to barely touch $46,000 per capita, which is even slightly below our baseline. However, as the impact of tax policies start to peter out, we expect a rapid pickup in income after 2025, which is directly related to productivity-enhancing policies which prop up economic growth. Ultimately, we expect real income to be 2.2% to 3.3% higher
- US trade is expected to rise significantly under Biden. As US export do not rise in tandem, this will also result in a widening trade deficit in the long run
- In the short term, Biden’s policy packages push unemployment below levels in our baseline, as positive employment effects of additional government spending outweighs the negative impact of a higher minimum wage. However, mid- decade unemployment is expected to rise above the baseline, partly related to higher corporate taxes and a pickup in labor-saving technological change
Here Are 11 of Joe Biden’s Biggest Debate Lies
President Trump trounced Joe Biden during their final debate Thursday night in Tennessee. It wasn’t even close...
Last night, Trump was forced to defend his record, to explain it… And because he has a very good record as president, he was able to.
Because Joe Biden has a terrible record, he was forced to lie… To tell 11 bald-faced whoppers, and here they are… All of Biden’s quotes below come directly from last night’s debate. [emphasis mine throughout]
1. No One Lost Their Insurance Under ObamaCare...
FACT: Up to six million people lost their private health insurance plan after Obamacare became the law of the land, and the reason people lost their private health insurance is the most immoral things about Obamacare… Obamacare outlawed — actually made it illegal, for private insurance to offer private plans that did not live up to Obamacare’s lofty and ridiculous standards...
2. America was Cozy with Hitler...
FACT: ... at no time was Roosevelt fooled by Hitler. He certainly tried to stop and stay out of the European war, but Hitler’s aggression towards our allies and Hitler’s own hatred of America… This is such a stupid lie....
3. I Never Opposed Fracking...
FACT: ...Biden spent the entire primary opposing fracking...
4. I Didn’t Oppose Trump’s China Travel Ban...
FACT: Here are Biden’s own tweets attacking the China travel ban as xenophobic: We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency. — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) February 1, 2020...
5. Illegal Aliens Show Up For Asylum Hearings After Being Caught and Released...
FACT: Catch and release is America’s gobsmackingly stupid policy of catching illegal aliens in our country and then releasing them back into our country with a notice to show up for an asylum hearing. Yes, we release illegals into our own country after we have caught them. ...
6. Raising the Minimum Wage Does Not Hurt Anyone...
FACT: ... The idea that mandating a raise in the minimum wage hurts businesses and workers is not even controversial. Everyone knows it does....
7. No One Brought Up Biden’s Troubling Ukraine Conflicts of Interest During Impeachment...
FACT: Again, we have the video tape proving this is a lie. A whole lot of people involved with impeachment were concerned with Hunter Biden looting Ukraine while his dad, the vice president, was the Obama administration’s point person there....
8. Trump Never Told Putin to Stop Meddling in American Elections...
FACT: Oh, isn’t China Joe, whose family received $3.5 million from the former mayor of Moscow, precious when he says to the “best of my knowledge.” He knows damn well Trump has told Putin to butt out — plenty of times....
9. Hunter’s Emails are Part of a “Russian Plan”...
FACT: The evidence that the Hunter Biden emails exposing Joe Biden as the head of a crime family trading off his role as vice president to get rich continue to be verified — and done so on-the-record,...

Kamala Harris: Racism Begins at Home
During an early Democrat Presidential candidates’ debate, Kamala Harris painted an ugly picture of American racism, recounting her alleged experience as a young student on a school bus in progressive Berkeley, CA’s public-school integration program...
Yet, when Gopalan entered a “love marriage” in 1963 and had children with a mixed-race Jamaican student she met while studying a UC Berkeley, she tainted her family’s carefully reserved bloodline...
Perhaps it was when young Kamala sprouted an Afro that Gopalan first understood her daughters would never pass for Brahmins and would face harsh racial discrimination in her native India... To protect them—and herself—she made a conscious decision to abandon racist India and raise her daughters as Blacks in far more tolerant North America...
In recent years, Kamala has created a narrative that portrays her privileged Brahmin relatives as mainstream Progressives, including characterizing her mother as a “civil rights activist.”...
As with other first-generation Americans descended from non-White foreigners who chose to emigrate to the US (the most notable being President Obama) Kamala and her sister Maya (Hindi for Illusion) have made “American racism” i.e. anti-white agitation their central cause by expanding African-American descendants-of-slaves’ issues to include themselves, “People of Color”, even if they have just arrived in the US....
On Donald Trump’s Extraordinary Achievements
Second Presidential debate - a calm, masterful Donald Trump made mincemeat of Joe Biden

Study: Biden Will Raise Taxes On 80 Percent Of Americans, Cut Annual Income $6,500 Per Household
A new study shows that Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden’s proposed economic plan would significantly hurt the long-term American economy if implemented.
While many mainstream media outlets claim Biden’s plan will target the wealthy and save the middle-class money, the 50-page study released by the Hoover Institution shows different results.
The study conducted by a group of financial and economic experts including Mulligan, former Chief Economist of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, and Kevin Hassett, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers since 2017, demonstrates how Biden’s plan will hurt everyone.
“We conclude that, in the long run, Vice President Biden’s full agenda reduces full-time equivalent employment per person by about 3 percent, the capital stock per person by about 15 percent, real GDP per capita by more than 8 percent, and real consumption per household by about 7 percent,” the report stated....
Trump Confirms More Federal Judges in First Term than Any President in 40 Years
... As of October 5, according to the Heritage Foundation, Trump has confirmed 218 judges to Article III courts — that is, the “Supreme Court of the United States, the U.S. courts of appeals, the U.S. district courts and the U.S. Court of International Trade.”

Who Will Tell the Truth About Joe Biden?
The inability of the mainstream media to accurately cover any of Joe Biden’s foibles is truly astonishing. If it was not already obvious by now, there is simply nothing Biden can say or do, no matter how incoherent, offensive, or alarming that would cause the current crop of “objective journalists” in the mainstream media, to even consider asking whether or not he has the mental capacity to be president of the United States....
The mainstream media finds Trump so morally and ethically repugnant that they would rather risk losing whatever credibility they have left, than to even suggest that a stumbling and often confused Biden has any businesses determining the U.S. tax code or holding China accountable for unleashing the Wuhan virus on the entire world. Instead of reporting on what should be fairly obvious to anyone with eyes or ears, the media seems to believe their main job is not only to protect Biden, but to prop him up by making him look as coherent and effective a leader as possible.....
Anyone who has watched Biden speak over the last several months knows that this is not the same Biden who served in the Senate for thirty-six years and then subsequently as vice president for another eight years. This might not even be the same Biden who we saw on the debate stage during the Democratic primaries last year. The one who said in response to a question about the legacy of slavery, “The teachers are -- I’m married to a teacher, my deceased wife is a teacher... It’s not that they don’t want to help, they don’t know what to play the radio, make sure the television -- excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the -- make sure that kids hear words.”...
Last week at an event in Delaware, Biden stood at the podium, while his staffers called on preselected journalists. One could be forgiven for wondering if these were reporters or Biden campaign officials who were asking him the questions. Biden, who was often caught glancing down at his notes on the podium, with prepared answers to the “questions,” should not have had to use them....
... we are left with fawning reporters who cover for Biden’s declining cognitive skills and provide him every opportunity to attack Trump. They are complicit in one of the greatest coverups ever orchestrated by the mainstream media.
