President Joe Biden is gearing up to address immigration during Thursday’s debate, highlighting his recent executive actions and contrasting them with Donald Trump’s policies, as per a reliable source.
As the presidential debate approaches, the Biden administration is projecting confidence in border security, citing a decrease in border crossings following Biden’s measures to restrict asylum access.
Since assuming office, Biden's administration has faced significant migration challenges, responding to various border crises. However, the White House is seizing a temporary respite from this contentious issue to take a proactive stance.
While immigration may not be the central issue for Biden's team, they are prepared to address it, emphasizing the administration's actions and Trump's obstruction of a border security bill earlier this year.
Officials have celebrated a notable drop in border crossings, attributing it to Biden’s executive orders, while criticizing Republicans for their inaction on immigration reform.
Despite these efforts, Biden's immigration agenda has not yet swayed voters. Polls show Trump leading on border security, with the Biden campaign anticipating immigration to be a key topic in the upcoming debate.
Biden's allies have advised the campaign on strategies to counter Trump’s immigration arguments during the debate, urging a direct approach to the issue.
The campaign aims to highlight the differences between the candidates, particularly focusing on Trump’s controversial family separation policy, which they believe still resonates with voters as a stark reminder of the past administration's actions.
