Biden opens new attack line on Trump: 'cruelty' to children [View all]
CLINTON, S.C. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden opened a new line of attack Thursday on Donald Trump, accusing the Republican president of deliberate cruelty to children after the administration ended a policy shielding certain immigrants from deportation if they're seeking life-saving medical treatment.
"He's seeking to deport sick kids," Biden said while campaigning Thursday. "It's just wrong. It's wrong. ... Cruelty is the point. It's their only point. It's all they have to run on: fear, anger, division, cruelty."
The former vice president leveled his criticisms a day after the administration confirmed that it ended a policy that lets immigrants apply for deportation protection if they're in the United States seeking life-saving medical treatment. Immigration advocates say repealing the medical exemption will have an acute effect on children whose families have come to the U.S. for treatments they cannot get in their home countries.
Biden said the move is part of a pattern that includes Trump's previous "zero tolerance" policy that resulted in separating migrant children from their families at border detention facilities.
