In the speech in Washington DC at the National Association of Manufacturers' annual summit, Biden said the US needed to reform immigration policy to maintain its competitive edge.
“We have to pass an anti-immigration bill. Look at Germany. Look at the rest of the world. We're the only non-xenophobic nation in the world that's a major economy,” he said.
However, the facts would seem to disagree with Biden's thoughts about Germany. It is an increasingly popular destination for immigrants, suggesting it has an open immigration policy.
A recent study from the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) showed that Germany had experienced an immigration boom in the last five years, making it the second most popular destination for permanent immigrants in the world.
And figures released from Federal Statistics Office (Destatis) in June found that more than 15.3 million people living in Germany have a migrant background.
Many immigrants are better qualified than a lot of Germans, filling a gap in Germany's skilled labour market, according to a report also released in June from the Berlin Institute for Population and Development.
It sounds like Biden has been hitting the sauce. Time for the secret service to get him dried out again.
Whoops, I forgot to ping this to you. See my above post.
I’ve posted this many times, but it continues to ring true.
In April 2012 I was vacationing in DC, and walking along the executive office side of the WH. Security shuts down everything, ped and vehicle traffic. After about 15 minutes, out comes a fleet of escort cars and Joe Biden riding in an armored Suburban. A guy in a 1000 dollar suit leans over to me and says “Joe couldn’t find his way home for lunch if he didn’t have a chauffeur.”
More like Biden is gnosiophobic.
Message to the those who think we can “impeach Obama”. Please impeach Biden first. At least Obama is only drunk on hubris and power.
Really brilliant VP pick, who in their right mind would ever harm him with Biden next in line? He’s a human shield!

The Drunk: Joe Biden drunk singing gaffe Obama vice president
I know how to do that, I’m just too lazy to usually bother. ;d
Besides, I like the link to be a surprise!

You’re 100% right, sadly...
Business isn’t conservative these days. Check out the LGBT, Green Party, Feminist, etc. agenda items sponsored by Big Corporate these days???
Corporate liberalism is the rule of the day.
Just because they “make money” doesn’t mean they aren’t liberal.
