I think arguing that the Dems are fighting against the literal fascist party is a sign of them fighting not taking part in xenophobia. But sure, if you’d only like to talk about the Dems policy and ignore the fascists I can do that too.
Second he strengthened programs such as DACA to protect over 700,000 people from deportations
The policy of the Biden administration has been entirely built around taking in more people through legal avenues, while trying to decrease the amount of illegal migration, while also trying to aid the countries battered by poverty and decades of U.S. military intervention that are the sources of the migration in the first place.
You can say “Biden tried to close the border” or “People held indefinitely” but both of them are untrue, border crossing would only become closed to those who tried to come across illegally, the legal avenues wouldn’t close, and the Biden administration has brought the amount of time the average asylum seeker is detained massively from several months under Trump, to an average of 10 - 30 days under Biden.
That’s the Democratic policy, and I strain to see how any of it comes from xenophobic intentions, but if you would like to say that they’re the same, or even that the democrats are “an evil” on the issue and don’t want to fix it, then go ahead.

It’s absolutely not. The Democrats were always going to fight the Republicans regardless of policy, because they want to be the ones in charge.
If I’m like a warlord conquering shit for my own gain, and one of the places I conquer happens to be full of assholes, that does not prove that I have some kind of ideological commitment against being an asshole. In the same way, the Democrats’ road to power happens to involve winning elections against Republicans, but they don’t get credit for pursuing their own self-interest.
As for the points you mentioned, it’s true that they have relaxed immigration policy in some areas, but my criticism still stands - Biden wants to give the president power to unilaterally shut down the border, people are held indefinitely in camps, and he also put limits on the number of asylum seekers. Your assertions to the contrary are simply false. Since your claim was that they don’t engage in, or even fail to fight xenophobia “in any way” it’s not enough to just show a couple points in that direction, it has to be a consistent policy.
Points out what you’re saying isn’t true
“Okay but it’s still indefinite and he wants to close the border”
As I addressed, both of those are false, but if you would like to ignore the truth and retreat to your comfortable talking points where you can pretend the Dems only want to do good things to fight the Reps then go ahead.
What you’re forgetting is that Indefinite Detainment, (which lasts usually until Trial, on which case they go to a real prison or are deported) only applies to literal terrorists and cartel members, and that the Biden “Closed Border” Policy only applies to illegal between-port-of-entry immigration, legal immigration through legal ports of entry is still completely allowed under this policy, and has several exemptions for humanitarian concerns.
“Only applies to” so you admit that it is, in fact, happening. So when you say, “Points out what you were saying isn’t true,” and “both of those are false,” you’re just brazenly lying and contradicting yourself.
You’re not going to convince me that trusting border cops to indefinitely detain whoever they feel like, so long as they accuse them of being a terrorist first, is in any way a good idea or not xenophobic. I don’t give a shit about the distinction between “legal” and “illegal” ports of entry either.
