NPR Politics Podcast: Democratic Activists Say Biden Has Failed To Deliver On Immigration Promises

Take a listen to this recent NPR Politics Podcast with interesting analysis of the Biden administration’s immigration policy work thus far. Host Asma Khalid summarizes the discussion as follows:

Back when Joe Biden was running for president, he railed against Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies. And the first day he stepped into the Oval Office, Biden decided to reverse some of his predecessor’s most controversial immigration positions. He signed an executive order to halt construction of the southern border wall. He lifted a travel ban that targeted a number of predominantly Muslim countries. And he unveiled a plan to put millions of undocumented immigrants on a path to citizenship. But a year later, that legislation has gone nowhere. And many of the other immigration reforms Democrats wanted have also not materialized. So, to put it mildly, Democratic activists are frustrated.

Today on the show, we’re going to dive into all of this. What exactly happened to Joe Biden’s immigration agenda?
