President Joe Biden said on a radio show that the masses of illegal immigrants entering the United States have made “our economy so good.”
“One of the reasons that we’re growing so much is we have a significant influx of immigrants coming into our country, only reason our economy’s so good. We’re not a xenophobic nation,” Biden said. “Other nations are, we’re not, that’s why our economy is the best in the world.”
Discussing immigration patterns, Biden said,“It’s even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or Hispanic – Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens.”
Biden also suggested that speaking Spanish will be the “future” of America.”
“The Hispanic community is part of the future of America. Twenty-eight out of every 100 students in school speak Spanish, the idea that you’re gonna ignore that? That’s our future.”
Biden previously called illegal immigrants “model citizens.”
During a Cinco de Mayo event, the U.S. president said, “Can you imagine a kid, two years old, saying, ‘Mom, don’t take me across the Rio Grande. It’s against the law.’ Give me a break.”
