President Joe Biden accidentally referred to Hispanic illegal immigrants as “voters” in an interview with a Spanish radio show on Thursday while discussing the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
"It's even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or Hispanic - Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens," President Biden said while talking to the host of the radio show Chiquibaby.
In the same interview, Biden likened the current immigration levels to the 1840s Irish migration to the United States due to famine and persecution.
Biden said that the current crisis is "a little bit like back in the 1840s and the great exodus of Ireland, because of the famine and the way Irish Catholics were treated. They said no, no, we don't need any more of those folks. There was a large influx."
"The Hispanic community is part of the future of America," Biden continued. "Twenty-eight out of every 100 students in school speak Spanish, the idea that you’re gonna ignore that? That’s our future. 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. Other nations are, we’re not, that’s why our economy is the best in the world."
However, Biden's mistake of calling Hispanic illegal immigrants "voters" sparked criticism on social media, with many accusing him of a Freudian slip and inadvertently revealing his political agenda.
Responding to the controversy, a White House spokesperson clarified to Fox News that, "Only American citizens can vote in federal elections. As fact checkers across the board have made clear, it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections."
As illegal immigration has surpassed record numbers under Biden’s leadership, and border patrol has been restricted in its ability to adequately enforce the border, critics of the president continue to claim that it is a deliberate strategy to bolster support for the Democratic Party and essentially import votes for future elections.
What bag?
Every year is 1984 comrades deal with it.
Saying the quiet part out loud.
He fixed it as he rambled on.
How many will see or hear this video? 3 percent of the population? Maybe? Would any of us if we weren’t on FR? Probably not. That’s a big problem.
His handlers are getting impatient.
Goon: Boss, you want I should rough him up?
Handler: Hold off for now.
Remember when he said if he says more to the reporters he’ll be in trouble back there later.
Now it’s more true than ever. Watch for makeup over bruises again.
Earlier:
Biden says he’ll ‘get in trouble’ for answering reporters’ questions. NY Post.
“You guys are bad. I’m not supposed to be answering all these questions,” the president said at the time. “I’m supposed to leave, but I can’t resist your questions.” He repeated the sentiment just one month later, telling one journalist he’d “get in trouble with staff if I don’t do this the right way.”
Sad (for all of us) he’s like a kid told by dad “Now don’t tell mommy, promise? I want it to be a surprise for her birthday.”
Mom gets home and the kid blurts out the whole surprise to mom in rapid form.
Freudian slip was never hidden, and is still showing.
Say it ain't so. (spit) The SOB is nothing more than a TRAITOR..
This reminds me of the Obama interview where he discussed “the privacy of the vote” as he danced around, nodding and winking to illegals for votes.
