Biden announces deportation 'shield'

President Joe Biden is now trying to hinder President-Elect Donald Trump's plans to fix America's illegal immigration problem. 

The New York Post reports that Biden recently did so by announcing a deportation "shield."

Shields protect those holding them from attacks, and this is what Biden's order looks to do.

It looks to protect illegal immigrants currently residing illegally in America from Trump's deportation plans.

The details

According to the Post, under Biden's order, certain illegal immigrants will be allowed to remain in America for another year-and-a-half.

Per the outlet:

The Biden administration announced Friday that nearly 1 million migrants from Sudan, Ukraine, El Salvador, and Venezuela — a breeding ground for members of the vicious gang Tren de Aragua — will be able to stay in the US for the next year-and-a-half, dealing a blow to President-elect Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda.

The outlet goes on to explain that the Biden administration "extended by another 18 months Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 1,900 Sudanese immigrants, 103,700 Ukrainian immigrants, 232,000 Salvadoran immigrants, and 600,000 Venezuelans."

This bring the total up to over 930,000 individuals who will be protected by this "shield" for the next year-and-a-half.

The Biden administration claims that this is necessary "because of continued conditions from environmental disasters that resulted in a substantial, but temporary, disruption of living conditions in the affected areas of El Salvador."

So much for that peaceful transition

Biden has vowed to allow Trump to have a smooth transition into the White House, but Biden has been doing everything in his power to slow Trump down.

We saw that, for example, with Biden's recently ban on oil and gas drilling.

Fox News reported:

President Biden announced an 11th-hour executive action on Monday that bans new drilling and further oil and natural gas development on more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters . . . He invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, meaning President-elect Trump could be limited in his ability to revoke the action. Congress might need to intervene to grant Trump authority to place federal waters back into development.

Trump has blasted the move, and he has said that he will be reversing this ban as soon as possible. But, we are now seeing Biden trying to slow down Trump's plans to fix the southern border crisis. Biden was also caught trying to sell off materials for the border wall.

The big question is how much all of these moves are going to slow Trump down. Time will tell.
