I'm sure what he meant was immigrants built the country, whether they were documented or undocumented or slaves. >Are you sure he hasn't proven his own case of dementia? The only one I see showing signs of possible dementia is Trump (that's not just my opinion but those of professionals partly based on his making up words on a regular basis.) Whether Trump is suffering from dementia or not I can't say, but he's clearly got issues. https://www.salon.com/2024/03/01/like-someone-pulled-the-metaphorical-plug-dr-john-gartner-on-accelerating-dementia/ With Biden I see a man that is clearly slowing down due to his age but still appears to have a full grasp of his faculties. Of course I'm also a bit biased as Trump's narcissism was always a turn off for me, but his apparent desire to become a dictator is even more so, but I can't say I'm a fan of all of Biden's policies. He's just a better choice in my eyes than Trump.
