No, that's you reading into it. I'm sure what he meant was immigrants
built the country, whether they were documented or undocumented or
slaves.

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.

 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.
