In the final stretch before the end of Election season 2020, we analyze the candidates’ track record and position on immigration as highlighted in their final debate. In the short segment moderated by Kristen Welker, President Donald Trump and former Vice President discussed “Coyotes,” the DACA program, family separation at the border, conditions at detention centers, and the “Catch and Release” program and its effectiveness over the years.
We’ll also review President Trump’s previous actions on immigration and Vice President Biden’s plan if elected.
