El director de medios hispanos del Comité Nacional Demócrata, Marco Frieri, emitió la siguiente declaración tras el último anuncio del presidente Biden sobre nuevas acciones para reducir y eliminar la deuda de préstamos estudiantiles de millones de estadounidenses:

“Hoy, el presidente Biden vuelve a cumplir su promesa de ayudar a los estadounidenses trabajadores arreglando el fallido sistema de préstamos estudiantiles y haciendo que la universidad sea más asequible, todo mientras Trump continúa atacando este alivio que cambia vidas. El presidente Biden ya ha cancelado más deuda estudiantil que cualquier otro presidente en la historia, haciendo crecer la economía desde abajo hacia arriba y desde el medio hacia afuera, incluso cuando Trump y sus aliados MAGA se interponen en el camino. Trump no pondrá a los estudiantes y las familias en primer lugar, y los votantes recordarán quién está de su lado en noviembre”.

NUEVO: El presidente Biden anunció nuevos planes para reducir y eliminar la deuda de préstamos estudiantiles de decenas de millones de estadounidenses trabajadores.

La Opinión: “Biden avala que hasta 30 millones de personas tengan condonación de intereses o cancelación de deuda estudiantil”

Telemundo:“Así es el nuevo plan de Biden para aliviar la deuda estudiantil de millones de personas”

HuffPost: “President Biden To Cancel Student Debt For Millions More Americans”

“Combined with prior measures, Biden’s plans mean he will have reduced student debt for 30 million people. … Overall, due to this newest set of changes, the Biden administration estimates that more than 10 million people would get over $5,000 in debt forgiven, including 4 million people who would have their outstanding debts entirely forgiven.”

Washington Post: “Biden’s proposed student debt relief plan could help more than 30 million”

CNBC: “Biden administration will soon roll out a sweeping new student loan forgiveness plan”

“Almost half of all voters, or 48%, say canceling student loan debt is an important issue to them in the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, a recent survey found.”

Wall Street Journal: “The Biden administration is poised to issue a proposal aimed at reducing or eliminating student loan balances for millions of borrowers… Biden is planning to outline the broad strokes of the new proposal during a speech on Monday in Madison, Wis., where he is expected to tout his administration’s wide-ranging efforts to chip away at the student debt burden facing more than 40 million Americans.”

El presidente Biden ya ha tomado medidas históricas para hacer que la universidad sea más asequible: bajo su liderazgo, se canceló la deuda de millones de estadounidenses.

Yahoo Noticias: “Desde que Biden asumió el cargo, se han condonado casi US$ 138.000 millones de deuda federal de préstamos estudiantiles a casi 3,9 millones de prestatarios”.

Tampa Hoy: “La administración Biden anunció el miércoles que condonará un total de $1,200 millones en deuda estudiantil a aproximadamente 153,000 prestatarios”.

CNN en Español: “Se espera que cerca de 153.000 prestatarios actualmente inscritos en SAVE reciban un correo electrónico el miércoles notificándoles que su deuda restante de préstamos estudiantiles federales será cancelada, por un total de alrededor de US$ 1.200 millones”.

CNN: “About 4 million people have seen their federal student debt canceled under Biden, totaling about $144 billion.”

The Guardian: “Biden launches ‘most affordable ever’ student loan repayment plan”

Washington Post: “Biden administration cancels $1.2B in student loans with new repayment plan”

New York Times: “Biden Cancels Another $5 Billion in Student Loan Debt”

Los planes del presidente Biden abordarían la carga desproporcionada de la deuda de los prestatarios afroamericanos  y latinos y otros prestatarios vulnerables.

La Opinión: “‘Millones de prestatarios en todo el país deben más de lo que debían cuando comenzaron a pagar debido a los intereses acumulados y capitalizados’, dice un documento oficial. ‘Los prestatarios negros y latinos tienen más probabilidades de experimentar un crecimiento en los saldos de sus préstamos estudiantiles, debido a la acumulación excesiva de intereses’”.

CNBC: “Pero los problemas pueden ser especialmente graves y duraderos entre los prestatarios latinos, que tienden a ganar dinero menos que los blancos no hispanos y se atrasan en sus préstamos a una tasa más alta, dicen los defensores de los consumidores”.

USA Today: “Student debt relief blocked, potentially hurting Black and Latino families the most”

CNBC: “In October, when the Biden administration turns the $1.7 trillion federal student loan system — dormant for more than three years — back on, millions of people are expected to struggle financially. But the problems may be especially severe and long-lasting among Latino borrowers, who tend to earn less than non-Hispanic whites and fall behind on their loans at a higher rate, consumer advocates say.”

Forbes: “How Biden Forgiving Another $9 Billion In Student Loan Debt Helps Close The Racial Wealth Gap”

Mientras tanto, Donald Trump no logró cumplir con la condonación de la deuda de préstamos estudiantiles, y se ha atribuido el mérito de que los jueces de la Corte Suprema cuidadosamente seleccionados hayan rechazado el plan de condonación de la deuda de préstamos estudiantiles del presidente Biden.

Daily Mail: “Former President Donald Trump … went after President Joe Biden for his student loan forgiveness plan. ‘Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats have just orchestrated another election-enhancing money grab, this time to the tune of $300,000,000,000 – and just like I predicted, it’s coming right out of the pocket of the working-class Americans who are struggling the most!’ Trump said in a statement released Thursday morning.”

CNBC: “Former President Donald Trump … has a long record of opposing student loan forgiveness.

“‘Today, the Supreme Court also ruled that President Biden cannot wipe out hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions of dollars, in student loan debt, which would have been very unfair to the millions and millions of people who paid their debt through hard work and diligence; very unfair,’ Trump said at a campaign event in June.”

Comunicado de prensa de la campaña de Trump: “La semana pasada, la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos otorgó victorias masivas para el pueblo estadounidense: detuvo el truco inconstitucional de préstamos estudiantiles de Joe Biden, restableció la equidad en el proceso de admisión a las universidades y aplicó las salvaguardias más sólidas a los derechos de la Primera Enmienda en una generación. Una cosa está clara: estos triunfos sólo fueron posibles gracias a la fuerte nominación por parte del presidente Trump de tres juristas distinguidos y valientes para la Corte Suprema”.

Associated Press: “Education advocates say President Donald Trump’s budget contradicts his campaign pledge to make college more affordable with its proposed elimination of subsidized student loans and cuts in other programs that help students pay tuition. … When he accepted the Republican presidential nomination last year, Trump had said, ‘We’re going to work with all of our students who are drowning in debt to take the pressure off these people just starting out in their adult lives. Tremendous problem.’”

NBC News: “Trump also attempted to cut billions from the department’s budget that would have ended subsidized student loans and the public service loan forgiveness program.”

Politico: “[Trump’s] Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Friday finalized rules that make it more difficult for federal student loan borrowers to cancel their debt on the grounds that their college defrauded them, scaling back an Obama-era policy aimed at abuses by for-profit colleges.”

Politico: “Trump and DeVos fuel a for-profit college comeback”

New York Times: “A DeVos System Allowed 12 Minutes to Decide Student Loan Forgiveness”

“[Trump’s] former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos made no secret of her disdain for a program intended to forgive the federal student loans of borrowers who were ripped off by schools that defrauded their students. She called it a ‘free money’ giveaway, let hundreds of thousands of claims languish for years and slashed the amount of relief granted to some successful applicants to $0. … In Ms. DeVos’s final year in office, her agency denied nearly 130,000 claims — far surpassing the 9,000 rejections in the prior five years — with a system that pressured workers to speed through applications in a matter of minutes, according to internal Education Department documents filed in federal court.”
