Castro replied, “It looks like one of us has learned from the lessons of the past and one of us hasn’t.” The audience cheered. “What we need are some politicians who actually have some guts on this issue.”
Biden shot back, “I have guts enough to say his plan doesn’t make sense.”
“Here’s the deal,” Biden continued. “When people cross the border illegally it is illegal to do it unless they are seeking asylum. People should have to get in line.”
That’s when Cory Booker jumped in to accuse Biden of “playing into Republican hands.”
Bill de Blasio Raises the Stakes
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio might have exposed Biden on this issue the most, pressing Biden on whether he tried to stop the mass deportations of illegal alines during Obama’s presidency.
“You were vice president of the United States. I didn’t hear whether you tried to stop them or not using your power, your influence in the White House. Did you think it was a good idea or did you think it was something that needed to be stopped?” de Blasio asked.
Biden said Obama was “the guy who came up with the idea for the first time ever of dealing with the Dreamers. He also pointed out that we should go to the source of the problem and fix it where people were leaving in the first place.
“Comparing him to Donald Trump, I think is just absolutely bizarre,” Biden added.

De Blasio noted that Biden still had not answered his question about whether or not he tried to stop mass deportations, saying he needed “to be able to answer the tough questions.”
“I guarantee you if you’re debating Donald Trump he’s not going to let you off the hook,” de Blasio said. “So did you say those deportations were a good idea, or did you go to President Obama and say we shouldn’t do it?”
Biden responded by saying that he was vice president, “not the president.”
“I keep my relationship private, unlike you I expect you would go ahead and say whatever was said privately,” Biden responded. “What I do say is he moved to fundamentally change the system. That’s what he did. But much more has to be done.”
Biden Trying to Have It ‘Both Ways’

Booker shot back at Biden, “First of all, you can’t have it both ways. You invoke president Obama more than anybody in this campaign.”
“You can’t do it when it’s convenient and dodge it when it’s not,” Booker added.

The exchange was significant for two reasons: One, Biden’s challengers are absolutely right that President Trump will absolutely bring up Obama’s deportation in the debates.
Second, and perhaps most importantly, is the Democratic Party FINALLY admitting that Barack Obama was every bit as “bad” with his illegal immigration policies as they constantly accuse President Trump of being?

Should have been “I’m going to leave the country”.
This is pretty funny. An anti White people beaner, a delusional racist negro “Spartacus”, and a name changing radical communist that blames ‘White supremacists” for violent negro savage’s attacks on Jews, blaming Creepy Joe Biden for the racist, anti White people, America hating, ILLEGAL DACA policy of the Kenyan born Mau Mau muslim Osama Bin Obama.
Sleepy Joe replies, oh come on folks I did not make those decisions. I was told that was the deportations would be done and I had no say in it.
“Comparing him to Donald Trump, I think is just absolutely bizarre,” Biden added.
Well, isn’t that the truth, but what did you expect Biden? After all, it’s a bizarre world when “Bozo the clown,” opps, I mean Donald Trump, could be elected President of the United States!
…amazing how the stupidcrats are criticizing ohbummer for the only positive actions his administration accomplished…
…can’t you just imagine the enemies of our country…iran, china, north korea etc; huddling and plotting how they can help put one of these ridiculous doofuses in the White House…
God help us all if they succeed!
I absolutely love it when the Dems turn on each other and they are all deranged. Whoever gets the nomination will change their narrative again when they have to go against Trump. They are all against our country and our citizens and unless they can get enough illegals to vote, they can’t win.
just a matter of time before they through him under the bus. let the mud slinging begin.
LOL most of these clowns invoked President Obama’s name for a variety of purposes during the Obama administration and for the first year or so of the Trump administration. Now, that they are campaigning against Biden who was the VP under Obama, they are attacking both. Obama who has shown support for most of these people with one exception, Biden is the only one he has not openly supported for President. And you can bet, that once Biden drops out of the race, they will again invoke Obama’s name in one way or another. So pathetic.
I love hearing when democrats have gone cannibal. I say that because I can’t bear to actually watch this circus no matter how many clowns are participating. This only serves to prove that having more of something can have the opposite effect of merriment.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE BATHING SUIT COMPETITION! I THINK IT’S RIGHT AFTER TALENT…
ODUMBA……POOR WITTLE BABY!!!
After watching both debates a few things become very clear. Democrats will sell out their own for next to nothing, think every other Democrat is stupid or doesn’t have a clue, are willing to bankrupt the country to buy votes, have no idea how to run a business, are all talk and no action otherwise there would be bills authored and submitted for approval in the House or Senate, have no intention of following through on the rhetoric they spout and oh yeah, the guy who fulfilled his campaign promises is bad.
Who are these A-HOLES…There is not one of these CLOWNS on stage I would let clean my OUTHOUSE much less run the country… SPEAKING of houses I would like to get each one of them in turn out behind the outhouse and teach them what AMERICA is really about…..PERIOD…..
SJWs eating each other. This almost makes me wonder how far Biden will go in the primaries and if he makes it to the end.
As predicted by many, the Liberals are “eating their own”. The loser liberals will make a Win by President Trump almost certain.
All of the den candidates are just sick
If one of these people get into the White House we are all in trouble. To quote the Liberals when Trump was elected and before he was elected “I’m going to the country”. Seriously we got to get these guys and gals a shot at a comedy club…oh I’m sorry they would probably screw that up too.
I’d rather see Imam Obama humiliated by a prison door slamming behind his sorry behind.
I Would love too see the police deptment in NEW YORK all come down with the blue flue for a week, then lets see what newyorkers think about that BUTT HEAD deBlasio.
Amen
What democrat did during debate–fight who going to lose to Trump and nothing else.
Biden was, and still is, an Obama puppet. Democrats have no interest in this country, they only crave the power they feel Trump took from them in 2016, that’s all
Actually Obama treated deportations as good pr
even going so far as boosting the deportation count by stopping immigrants at the border and counting them as being deported. As for those infamous cages housing the alien children it was Obama who constructed them in 2014. The separation of immigrant children from their parents was made into law under Bill Clinton. Of course all this is Trump’s doing.
Its easily seen that b’hama initiated the current deportation actions either as a matter of enforcing the immigration laws as written or he was equal to President Trump in attempting to thwart the invasion of illegal alien’s.
As much as I am not fond of Joe Biden, and I am not, I would choose him above the other Democrats to run for President. I just shocked everyone didn’tI? Well, I am 1000% against Socialism, Communism, Fascism, Marxism, and any and all kinds is other “ism’s one can name!” I don’t understand how these others can blame Joe Biden for what OBAMA DID TO AMERICA AND AMERICANS!” Uncle Joe was only the Vice President, and his power was very limited to fight OBAMA!
JFK must be flipping in his grave….”no more ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country”. ….
Now, not even Obama was radical enough for them.
You are very smart! Have always said a person needs to research the candidates and see how they voted on issues. After all this is the information age!! And if a person can’t manage a computer then go to the local library and read. Very enlightening!
Well it seems Obama is learning that the democrats will eat their own in their quest for power. I knew this a long time ago, that and a socialist agenda are the biggest reasons I will never again vote for any democrat. I am a no political party preference so I look at past actions rather than words.
Gee the rest make Obama sound reasonable. Truth is, they only want the illegal immigrants so they can get more electoral votes due to the 2020 Census. After all, Hillary lost by electoral votes. Then they can round up the illegals and deport them so they won’t have to give them the increased portion of the federal budget based on the Census results. Wonder when the immigrants will figure out they are being used, or if Trump will figure it out and move a bunch of the actual asylum seekers to places like Wyoming so they won’t loose two of their electoral votes to California. They are probably also relying on the fact that Latinos count for more than 51% of the population. What they may miss is that many of them have seen the disasters of socialism and corruption, and came here for a chance of making it instead of living on welfare among cartel criminals like the corruption you find in Chicago and with other Democratic party leaders.
A bunch of clowns that spilled out of the clown car. They have nothing to stand on except they hate President Trump.
They are all just a bunch of mixed up nuts! They belong in a dried up fruit cake!
