Univision's Jorge Ramos pressed Joe Biden on the high rate of deportations under the Obama administration at Thursday's DemDebate
Univision anchor Jorge Ramos pressed former Vice President Joe Biden on the high rate of deportations under the Obama administration at Thursday's Democratic debate, ultimately asking the presidential candidate how Latinos can trust him should he be elected in 2020.
The former VP added that he is "proud" to have served with Obama, but if elected president, he'd do "several more things, because things have changed." Once Biden mentioned Trump's move to reject domestic violence asylum speakers, leading him to call for action on the separate, unrelated Violence Against Women Act, Ramos reiterated his initial question, "Did you make a mistake with those deportations?"

Or, Senator Warren, maybe they should just blindly start investing in companies they didn’t know what to do with again? Also, if you feel there is no solution, please be clear about it.” At press time, every single Democratic candidate had answered that the only solution was to shut the company down and finally put it out of its misery.
