Former Vice President Joe Biden called the rollback of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program “inhumane” and “not America.”

“Imagine a young girl, age 4 or 5, traveling with her parents into the United States as they make the hard decision to pursue a better life here,” Biden said in a statement on Tuesday. “Imagine that child growing up as your student, your co-worker, your friend. Because of the president’s decision today, she now must live in fear that she will soon be thrown out and sent back to a country she has never known.”
