"[The upcoming general election is about] freedom, America and democracy [and the nation's economy is thriving] because of you [immigrants to the United States] and many others."

"Why? Because we welcome immigrants. Look, think about it. Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they're xenophobic. They don't want immigrants."

"Immigrants are what makes us strong. Not a joke. That's not hyperbole, because we have an influx of workers who want to be here and want to contribute."

A simplistic analysis for economic enlightenment to an audience he is pitching,to  help fund his re-election. Where he implies negatively that Japan and India along with China and Russia are "xenophobic" in their attitude toward welcoming newcomers. The United States' 'open borders' to immigration by illegal migrants must make those countries shudder, thinking what they'd do themselves faced with a similar situation, while simultaneously smirking that they don't quite anticipate becoming a target in the same class as the United States.

For one thing, none of them would go out of their way to welcome as future citizens and a bolster to an aging workforce, migrants, refugees and immigrants from Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East and North Africa. India, China and Russia have ample reason to shrink from such a scenario given their interior experience with their own Muslim populations. For another, those countries have a vast complex of various ethnic, religious and cultural groups within their citizenry, some of which agitate forcefully resulting in social disequilibrium.

Mr. Biden cannot possibly, intelligently boast that the United States  under his administration has fared well in attempting to hold back the tide of illegal entries crossing the border between Mexico and the United States, straining the capacity of cities toward which they stream to handle their human needs, aside from the fact that among the migrants there are invariably present seeking infiltration, individuals and groups inimical to the security of the country.

At that campaign fundraising event, it's difficult to imagine his audience viewing those assertions with any credulity, unless they're completely oblivious of world events, and Asian-Americans tend to be fairly knowledgeable. The countries whose immigration policies with the exception of Russia and China that he cites as short-sighted; Japan and India in particular are close allies of the United States; their reactions to his opinion might be lacking enthusiasm.

Particularly in a climate that has twisted itself into a woke pretzel where academia is placing limits on the numbers of orientals that Ivy League universities can admit, to make way for less intellectually endowed applicants under the human rights  banner of 'diversity, equity and inclusion', where white-privilege can be extended to encompass anyone in society who is intellectually exceptional to the mainstream.

Biden, according to White House national security spokesman John Kirby, stated that a broader point about the U.S. position on immigration was being made: "Our allies and partners know well in tangible ways how President Biden values them, their friendship, their co-operation and the capabilities that they bring across the spectrum on a range of issues, not just security related".
