CHAPTER 13

Will the Real Joe Biden Please Stand Up?

Let’s play a little game. Who said this—a Republican or a Democrat? (You can even guess which individual said it, if you’re feeling lucky.)

Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. Until the American people are convinced that we will stop future flows of illegal immigration, we will make no progress on dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants who are here now, and on rationalizing our system of legal immigration. That’s plain and simple and unavoidable.1

Here’s another:

Folks, I voted for a fence . . . some of you won’t like it—I voted for 700 miles of fence . . . unless you change the dynamic in Mexico and—and you will not like this, and— punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing.2

If you read these in your best Trump impression, you’re wrong. It might surprise you to learn that the first was Chuck Schumer, in 2009, who for once was saying something that makes sense.

The second was none other than Joe Biden in 2006 when he supported the Secure Fence Act.3 He firmly opposed giving drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants in 2007 and 2008 (so did Hillary, for what it’s worth).4

On September 12, 2019, during the debate, Joe Biden said the Obama administration didn’t lock people up in cages and separate families.5 We’re currently using detention facilities Biden and Obama built, which did indeed house those children Biden lied about or forgot.6 In a rare case of them getting it right, the news outlets fact-checked Biden, and his statement was utterly false. (Now, if he had been debating Trump, I’m not sure we would have gotten the same result.) Laughably, opponents of my father’s immigration policy tweeted photos showing children sleeping facedown on the floor—never mind that at least half the pictures were actually taken under the Obama administration.7 The photo with the kids on the floor? Taken in 2014, under Biden and Obama.8 The pictures from 2014 probably happened right around the time when Jeh Johnson, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, was explaining the “surge in unaccompanied children” along the southern border.9 By May 2014, forty-seven thousand unaccompanied children had crossed the border10 because their families had figured out how to game the system. Trump didn’t start separating kids from parents; he inherited the unresolved immigration problem from Obama. But of course, the DNC marketers in the media would never criticize Obama’s immigration policy, even if he did lock up more kids than Trump.11

In a great example of the media’s double standard, they pounced on Manfred Nowak of the U.N. Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty (now there’s a title for you!). Manfred said, and liberals happily repeated, the Trump administration detained one hundred thousand kids.12 One little problem, Manfred— a small fact you left out. That number of detained children was from 2015, under Obama, not Trump. Some of
