While hosting a reception for Hispanic Heritage Mont, President Joe Biden told members of the audience that “maybe some of you” came to the United States illegally, then declared “y’all were here before we were” in a seemingly contradictory statement.
“Can you imagine? Maybe some of you were dreamers,” Biden said. “It’s like your – why don’t what, people expect to say when your mom’s taking you across the Rio Grande to say, ‘No mama, I’m stayin’ here, I’m not goin. I’m gonna make my choice.’ C’mon.”

Later in the speech, Biden switched and gears and told the audience that instead of immigrating illegally, they have been in the US longer than “we were.”
“Hispanic history is American history. It’s American history,” Biden said. “As a matter of fact, as they say, ‘Y’all were here before we were.'” He then laughed awkwardly and nodded.

Biden’s speech comes as his poll numbers among Hispanics have sunk to record levels, and increasing numbers of Hispanics have indicated that they plan to support Republican candidates in upcoming elections.
During a speech earlier this week at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, Joe Biden appeared to search for Representative Jackie Walorski in the audience, despite the Indiana congresswoman having passed away at the start of August.
“I want to thank all of you here, including bipartisan elected officials like Rep. McGovern, Sen. Braun, Sen. Booker, Rep. – Jackie, are you here?” Biden said. “Where’s Jackie? I thought she was going to be here – to help make this a reality.”
Walorski died in a car accident in August aged 58, along with Zachery Potts, 27, a member of the St Joseph County Republican Party, and her communications director Emma Thomson, 28.

Biden is a dotard and he needs to be removed using the 25th Amendment or Impeachment. He is toxic embarrassment who is a puppet of Xi. All his cabinet members were picked for their gross incompentence. Granholm had the Flint Michigan Water Crisis. Buttigeig could not fix potholes in a pot dunk town. Garland is a partisan hack who is unfit for office and abuses his power.
Wake up people the dems hate this country and are the enemies of democracy.

Latinos did not precede the Europeans because they are of Spanish decent. Native Americans preceded Europeans. Biden always distorts things.

China Joe has always been a throne in Everyones side. It’s to bad
the Real Mrs. Biden was still here because Joey would be sitting in a Mental Institution with his Head between his Legs trying to pull his Skull out from between his Rear Quarters. China Joe is lucky that his Puppet Master knows even that.

I’m pretty sure that Spanish speakers are a result of the Spaniard conquering Central and South America and killing off all of the natives. The USA is the only country that has set aside ‘reservations’ and coddles the native Indians. But then Biden isn’t lucid enough to know what he’s saying.

Coddled? Surely, you speak from a lack of knowledge. Nothing coddling about outright genocide. In that, Americans were no better than the Spanish. However, unlike the Spanish, it was only the New Englanders, those Damn Yankees, that held Native Peoples in slavery.

First of all Creepy Joe, that is a completely racist statement. The first Europeans were not Spanish, not Portuguese, not French. They were the Vikings, some 400 years earlier. However, it is the Native Peoples of North America that were here first. And guess what Skippy. That does NOT include a single Hispanic, nor any Central American Indigenous. Secondly, this is NOT American History!!! That would be the English, French, Dutch, Scot, Irish and Sub-Saharan Black African slaves. Spanish colonies had zero to do with the 13 Colonies. And just because some Spanish explorer claimed to have wandered through an area, which is highly speculative, does not make Spaniards, nor their descendants the “native people”. Thirdly, race/ethnicity has ZERO to do with the FACT that these people VIOLATED US and International Laws by reason of their ILLEGAL ACTS!!! So if a Hispanic robs a bank, it is OK, because all that money was theirs first????
