When politicians run for election, they make promises to gain our vote; this is nothing new. Living up to these promises on the other hand is a whole other ball game. When Biden became President, he promised to do better and to re-establish the “democracy” that Trump rightly stripped away. He promised a government for the people and one of his first steps in moving towards this newfound democracy was revitalizing a child migrant centre that closed down under the Trump administration. Throughout Trump’s presidency, he constantly came under fire for the inhumane conditions of the child migrant centres and how migrant children were treated. While Biden’s administration reversed many of Trump’s immigration policies, taking ten steps forward only works if you aren’t trying to take ten steps back. Unlike the legal system, government promises shouldn’t have any loopholes. Either keep them or leave them.
