Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Biden slams Trump for "divorced from reality" policies
Former vice-president Joe Biden writes on Trumps "actions that subvert American values" on the Mexico border<snip>
"In an op-ed published in a Florida paper published in both English and Spanish former Vice President Joe Biden slammed Donald Trump as an out-and-out racist, saying he has used racist invective to describe anyone south of the Rio Grande.
In the piece, published in the Miami Herald, Biden bluntly began, Last week gave us more evidence that President Trumps morally bankrupt re-election strategy relies on vilifying immigrants to score political points while implementing policies that ensure asylum seekers and refugees keep arriving at our border.
Noting that the president has called immigrants animals, Biden stated his case by writing, Under Trump, there have been horrifying scenes at the border of kids being kept in cages, tear-gassing asylum seekers, ripping children from their mothers arms actions that subvert American values and erode our ability to lead on the global stage.
Add to that Trumps badgering Mexico with the threat of tariffs, flinging insults at vital partners such as Colombia and callously limiting the ability of Cuban Americans to reunite with and support their families in Cuba, and the administrations Latin America policy, at best, is a Cold War-era retread and, at worst, an ineffective mess, he continued. Trumps failures in the region are even more dangerous because China and Russia are becoming increasingly active in the Americas and that is before we address the simmering crises in Nicaragua, Haiti, Honduras and elsewhere.

I hope he and some of the others blast Trump but good tonight during the debates.
