As vice president, Pence stood alongside Donald Trump as their administration sabotaged the U.S. immigration system \u2014 letting families suffer as a result of their cruel, inhumane policies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pence wants to bring back the immigration policies of the Trump administration, which was the most anti-immigrant administration in decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cThe Trump administration was more hostile to immigration and immigrants than any administration in decades, making it harder for people to visit, live or work in the United States and seeking to reduce the number illegally entering the country\u2026 People were denied the opportunity to apply for asylum and returned to dangerous conditions at home. Children were traumatized by being separated from their families. Trump\u2019s signature border wall went up in environmentally sensitive areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Pence stood by Trump as he implemented an extreme travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries and sought to end DACA.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cPence \u2018very supportive\u2019 of latest version of Muslim ban\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Daily News<\/a>: \u201cThe former Indiana governor smiled and clapped his hands at a Friday ceremony where President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. for the next 90 days. As Trump explained the order, saying it is meant to \u2018keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America,\u2019 Pence stood by his side and nodded in agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cVice President Mike Pence on Wednesday evening echoed President Donald Trump\u2019s criticisms of a federal judge that blocked the administration\u2019s attempt to wind down protections for young undocumented immigrants.[\u2026] San Francisco-based U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup on late Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to resume accepting Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals renewal applications, but did not require new applications to be accepted. Pence said that Congress will ultimately make the decision on DACA and that the Supreme court would uphold that law.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Trump-Pence administration left behind a massive backlog in immigration cases as their policies damaged the U.S. immigration system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico Magazine<\/a>: \u201cBut an analysis of court data by The Marshall Project shows that under the Trump administration, the immigration court backlog has grown much faster in one year than the inflow of migrants\u2014at a rate almost three times that of new cases coming into the courts. According to interviews with judges, lawyers and court staff, many of the moves by the administration\u2014designed to accelerate the courts and eliminate policies from President Barack Obama\u2014have slowed them even more, making it harder for judges to move cases efficiently, extending processing times and compounding a nationwide backlog that has grown by 68 percent under President Trump to nearly 877,000 cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
