Joe Biden said Wednesday he would reverse Donald Trump’s immigration policies during his first 100 days in office while renewing a push for Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul and boosting aid to three key Central American countries to $4 billion over four years.
Biden issued his immigration plan months after most of his Democratic rivals, a sign of how tricky the issue is for the former vice president. He has faced criticism by activists and opponents for his fierce defense of Obama administration immigration policies, which included deporting 3 million people.
