President Joe Biden "absolutely did not apologize" for his use of the term "an illegal" during last week's State of the Union address, principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton told reporters Monday. "I want to be really clear about something: the president absolutely did not apologize. There was no apology anywhere in that conversation," Dalton said. "He did not apologize. He used a different word."
Biden made the "illegal" comment during an ad-libbed exchange with GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after being heckled by her and other Republicans to say the name of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student police say was murdered in Georgia last month. The suspect is a Venezuelan migrant whom officials say was illegally in the U.S.
Biden, appearing to mispronounce her name as "Lincoln Riley," called her "an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal," a term many immigrants and advocates find offensive.

Equally infuriating he added, “undocumented immigrants built this country and they are rebuilding our economy”. Of course, he has also said “the middle class built this country” and when pandering, “the black people built this country”.
Biden should run from any border talk. His worst issue.
THEY ARE ILLEGAL INVADERS
Bears repeating...
At least half of America is....the good half.
so now we have the president saying it’s ok to use illegal no reason to apologize.
The bigger story is that Pelosi said he shouldn’t have said “illegal”.

I’m stealing that.
All I ask is a high royalty.
EXCLUSIVE: Biden says he regrets calling migrant an 'illegal' during State of the Union speech
Green Eggs and Ham-ass they are.
He did not apologize, but he did not not apologize either. So everyone should be happy.
No they are all invaders
To say you regret using a certain word it not apologizing. It is accommodating a narrative.
