Statement from the Nebraska Democratic Party on President Biden’s executive action on immigration today

LINCOLN, NE – Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement on President Joe Biden’s executive action on immigration announced today:

“Today, President Biden is announcing new actions to keep families together and enable more young people to contribute to our economy. A new process that will help U.S. citizens with noncitizen spouses and children who have been here for 10 years keep their families together. This process will promote family unity and strengthen our economy. A new process to help young people educated in the U.S., including DACA recipients and other Dreamers, obtain work visas more quickly. This will help more young people educated in the U.S. use their talents to enrich our communities and strengthen our economy.”

President Biden is determined to fix our broken immigration system – a stark contrast to Donald Trump. After Trump separated babies from their mothers, Joe Biden is keeping families together. After Trump tried to end DACA and strip hundreds of thousands of legal protections, Joe Biden is protecting the Dreamers and strengthening the program.

Joe Biden will never demonize immigrants like Trump, who says they “poison the blood” of the country. Donald Trump promises to militarize our immigration system and build mass detention camps. Joe Biden will never allow that. And Trump killed the toughest, fairest border security reforms in decades to help himself politically after Joe Biden negotiated them – but that didn’t stop President Biden from taking action to secure the border.

Joe Biden is the only candidate in this race committed to securing our border and fixing America’s broken immigration system, and voters will remember that in November.”
