Biden Vs. Trump: The Battle Over Immigration and Its Impact on American Society

President Joe Biden has highlighted the importance of immigrants in making the United States stronger during a Washington fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign. He criticized countries like India, China, Russia, and Japan for their xenophobic attitudes that he believes have stalled their economic growth. On the other hand, former president Donald Trump has been known for his anti-immigrant rhetoric and has promised to crack down on illegal immigration and restrict legal migration if he is elected to office again.

Since taking office, Biden has taken a more humane stance on the issue of migrants. He has eased the Trump-era crackdown on migrants and introduced new “parole” policies that allow certain migrants to enter legally for humanitarian reasons. However, despite these efforts, Biden is facing criticism from voters over unemployment and immigration issues. A recent poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that over half of US adults believe that Biden’s presidency has hurt the country in terms of the cost of living and immigration. This highlights the challenges that Biden faces in addressing these issues while promoting the contributions of immigrants to the United States.
