EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "Look, I think that anyone who is in a situation where they’re in need of health care, regardless of whether they are documented or undocumented, we have an obligation to see that they are cared for. That’s why I think we need more clinics around the country. And this idea that undocumented — by the way, a significant portion of undocumented folks in this country are there because they overstayed their visas. It's not people breaking down gates, coming across the border. And so, look, the biggest thing you've got to do in this is just tone down the rhetoric. We know why it's happening. It creates fear and concern. 'Why is your job in tough shape? Because of that...' And then he describes it in very graphic, unflattering terms. 'That other, the immigrant...' This is ridiculous."
