Former Vice President Joe Biden touted his "sensible" immigration proposals and hit President Trump for a re-election strategy he called "morally bankrupt" in an op-ed published Monday.

In the Miami Herald, Biden called on Congress to "make it official" that "DREAMers are Americans," also saying undocumented immigrants in the United States must be "brought out of the shadows through fair treatment, not ugly threats." The U.S asylum system needs to be improved in ways that will "streamline and strengthen it," Biden wrote.
