Inslee hammers Trump in new immigration platform

Democratic presidential hopeful Jay Inslee’s new immigration platform, which was released Friday morning, specifically targets President Trump’s border agenda, vowing to end a slate of White House policies meant to curtail legal and illegal crossings into the U.S.

The Washington governor called to reverse signature policies such as the construction of a border wall, the ban on immigration from several Muslim-majority countries and the cutting off of aid to key Central American nations.

The proposal would also reinstate the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protected migrants who came to the country illegally as children from deportation.

Immigration has emerged as a hot-button issue for Democrats incensed by the now-ended “zero tolerance policy,” which led to the separation of families at the southern border. Several migrant children have also died while in government custody, further fueling calls for a revamp of the country’s immigration system.

“The failure of the federal government to address comprehensive immigration reform has resulted in cruel and deadly misuse of our immigration enforcement, undermined due process for all immigrants, and created unpredictability for businesses,” Inslee wrote in the plan.
