The issue of immigration is front and center once again due to the recent surge of migrants on our southern border. President Biden said that he would not allow unaccompanied minors to starve on the other side of the border. I assume that some of these kids will be released to families who can care for them instead of being held in overcrowded detention centers.
For the record, I define open borders as being a policy that does not criminalize border crossings. It allows migrants, especially unaccompanied minors, to cross our border and stay in the country.
What prompted me to start this conversation is that I have had this discussion many times at school, and some consider it racist to restrict poor migrants.
So with that said here are the debate questions:
1. Should we have open borders?
2. Is the Biden administration going to lead us to open borders?
