'Over the last year, six children have tragically died in US custody at the border. It's unacceptable. It's not who we are. And silence is complicity,' Biden said.
Joe Biden on Thursday lamented the deaths of six migrant children while in US custody, saying it's"not who we are" in a statement that mirrors how the former vice president has framed much of his 2020 presidential campaign.
"Over the last year, six children have tragically died in US custody at the border. It's unacceptable. It's not who we are. And silence is complicity," Biden, the front-runner among the Democratic presidential candidates, tweeted."It's on all of us to stand up and speak out. America is a nation of immigrants. We must guarantee everyone's treated with dignity.
