Vice President Biden Visits Immigration Activists On 11th Day Of Fast

On Friday morning, Vice President Joseph Biden (D) stopped by the “Fast for Families” tent pitched on the National Mall to pray with faith leaders and immigration activists who are fasting as a way to pressure House Republicans to advance immigration reform legislation that includes a pathway to citizenship. Three core fasters, Eliseo Medina, Cristian Avila, and Dae Joong Yoon, are going into their eleventh day of fasting — they will continue to fast until they are medically advised to stop. The movement has spread across the nation with numerous activists fasting in solidarity and then sometimes marching to the offices of elected officials.

Biden said to the fasters, “What you’re doing here is to bring attention to what’s morally right and attention to a community that is already American.” He also said, “We will win this. As my father always says, come hell or high water.”

Christian, an undocumented youth, also thanked Biden for helping with the creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program, which grants temporary work authorization for undocumented individuals between the ages of 16 to 31.

I wonder what this will do the cause

Probably nothing...only thing that will probably work is when politicians start losing seats...thats it.

Short term weight loss followed by a massive weight gain once they start hitting the buffets and being even more depressed than before.

Biden probably just wanted to party with some Mexicans.

Biden is running for president, it will look good on a tv ad come election time. When he is promising cir again...

It hasn't done anything in the past, but been forgotten.
