In an interview with the Univision journalist Jorge Ramos, the Democratic candidate Joe biden He discussed the main problems and aspirations of his campaign in a conversation that was dominated by the immigration issue, reviewing some positions and policies that the former vice president has supported and which in some cases now qualifies as “error.”
–
An example is the three million deportations of immigrants that were made under the government of Obama, a question from Jorge Ramos to which Biden responded accepting your responsibility but ensuring that in the previous administrations of Bush and Clinton, more cases of deportations were carried out.
–
“We take too long before correcting this”said the former vice president. “I saw the pain in the eyes of so many people who were seeing their deported relatives. I know what it means to lose a family member. It is painful.”
–
Biden also tried to justify the existence of children in cages in the years he was in the White House, an image that is associated with Trump’s policies but that although in lower numbers and with different procedures, also existed in the Obama administration.
–
“We are looking for relatives here to take them to a safe community … but they came without anyone,” he explained.
–
In the conversation, Jorge Ramos also reminded him that in 2006 he voted for the existence of a fence on the border with Mexico. How is that different from the wall that President Trump wants to build?asked the journalist.
–
“Yes, I voted for a fence, in a small part … in certain places it makes sense,” tried to explain a somewhat irritated Biden. “The idea that we voted for a wall us as what he is doing Trump It’s ridiculous. “
–
“I said that in the first week (as president) I will prepare an immigration project for 11 million […] and I will also legalize the dreamers, the dreamers, again, so that there is no doubt that they are Americans, “Biden explained about his possible political agenda regarding the immigration issue, if he reaches the presidency.
–
Has your campaign collapsed?
Before Jorge Ramos’ questions about a possible crash of the campaign who seemed to be the head of the list, Joe biden He tried to be optimistic and gave the idea that there is still time ahead, appealing to the vote of the main minorities in the country, which in states like Iowa or New Hampshire are not representative.
–
“99.3% of Latinos have not had the opportunity to vote yet or 99.8% of African Americans. You cannot win a Democratic nomination without the support of African Americans and Latinos.”
–
In addition, he explained by clarifying that he did not say it in complaint mode, “I have been the target of all from the beginning.” “Everyone assumed that I was the main contender, and I think it’s still that way. […] I have been tested. “

What will happen if you don’t win in Nevada or South Carolina?
In states like Nevada or South Carolina former Vice President Biden is more confident, especially in the second. A final survey predicts that in Nevada Bernie Sanders would be victorious. “Is it possible to lose Nevada too?” Asks Ramos.
–
“It is also possible that Nevada wins. I see it differently from you. I feel good about where we are, with the money we have raised. And I have a lot of confidence in South Carolina.”
–
Could Bernie Sanders be president?
Although at the beginning it was behind Joe biden, the Vermont senator, self-qualified as a ‘socialist’, has moved on to lead the race and some surveys favor him at least in the next primary.
–
For Joe Biden it remains to be seen, and it is very difficult for him to win the election in some states under the label of ‘socialist’.
–
In addition, he says, “it will not be enough to simply win the election to win Trump. It will be difficult, too, apart from that, to have a Senate and a Democratic House.”
–
Intervention in Venezuela?
With respect to the policy towards VenezuelaJorge Ramos asked him if he supported an armed intervention by the United States in that country to rescue democracy.
–
“No, we have to make the whole hemisphere agree with us. If we do that we will lose a lot of support all over the world,” he explained. “What we have to do is keep the temporary protection status For Venezuelans. We have to help ease that burden and we should not send anyone back to their countries if they have temporary protection, unless we guarantee they are safe there, “he added.
–
At the interview Joe biden He also spoke of Donald Trump and when asked if the president is racist, he answered that if it was not, it seemed enough and that he has tried to turn immigration into a weapon.
