Top former Obama administration officials are warning Democratic presidential candidates to back off from their proposals to decriminalize border crossings, saying that it’s bad policy and a surefire general election loser that gives President Trump an opening on immigration.
In an op-ed in The Washington Post this week, former Obama Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said that decriminalization would attract hundreds of thousands of new migrants to the southern border. He described the proposal as “tantamount to declaring publicly that we have open borders.”

At the debate, former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to raise his hand in support of decriminalization, but he clarified later that he thinks crossing the border illegally should remain a federal offense, making him the lone top candidate to hold that position.
