Biden has pledged to stop border wall construction and give amnesty and health care to all illegal immigrants.
This claim should have been split into two parts, as it is quite confusing. As for the first part, the label is supported as he did say that he would not build more of the wall. As for the 2nd part, it is more tricky, as he would allow health care access to immigrants, but it does not necessarily mean they'd get access to healthcare. Therefore, the claim is supproted

Margaret Sanger was a racist who believed in eugenics. Her goal when founding Planned Parenthood was to eradicate minorities.
Evidence is conflicting with Margaret Sanger, as she was a progressive who believed in racial integration. She voted for Norman Thomas. She worked with progressive Black people—W.E.B. Du Bois, for example, who, along with Mary McCleod Bethune and Adam Clayton Powell Sr., served on the board of the Negro Project, a network of birth control and maternal health clinics Sanger established in Harlem and the South, etc. However, it does seem that Sanger believed in eugenics and thought people, especially poor people, often had too many kids to care for properly and that too many of those kids were born physically disabled (or, in the language of the day, "feeble-minded"). She did not oppose forced sterilization.

I will raise taxes for anybody making over $400,000. … No new taxes for people making less than $400,000.
The claim is specific about the threshold of $400,000. There are two parts to the claim-one for people making over $400,000 and one for people making less than $400,000. The answer does not refer to the $400,000 threshold and does not specifically answer the question. Also, the answer refuses to commit anyway saying 'these numbers may change'.

Q1 is related to the claim but is too specific to either support or refute the claim. There is a better answer to this question on the source page.
