President Joe Biden was criticized by Democratic lawmakers on Thursday after 
he used the term “illegals” during his State of the Union address..

Biden referenced “illegals” after Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pressured 
him into referencing Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was 
allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, according to 
police. Biden flubbed Riley’s name during his speech, calling her “Lincoln 
Riley.” 

“Lincoln Riley!” Biden said. “An innocent young woman who was killed by an 
illegal. That’s right. But how many of the thousands of people being killed 
by illegals? To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to you having lost 
children myself. I understand.”

Biden went on to say that amnesty should be granted to millions of illegal 
immigrants in the country and said he needed Republicans to pass a Democrat-
backed bill in order to have the ability to secure the border. Despite his 
push for leftist policies, many Democrats were not happy with his reference 
to “illegals.” 

“As a proud immigrant, I’m extremely disappointed to hear President Biden use 
the word ‘illegal,’” Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL) said. 

“Disappointed that @POTUS would use such dehumanizing right wing rhetoric to 
speak about immigrants tonight. No human being is illegal,” Rep. Delia 
Ramirez (D-IL) said. 

“Let me be clear: No human being is illegal,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted 
on X after the speech. 

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, 
told the Associated Press that she was disappointed with Biden’s reference to 
illegal immigrants. “I wish he hadn’t engaged with Marjorie Taylor Greene and 
used the word illegal,” she said. 

 “Just like we should not be implementing Republican policy, we should not be 
repeating Republican rhetoric,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said. 

The Biden administration has previously pushed to rid the government of any 
use of the term “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant.” Instead the 
administration has referred to the flood of illegal immigrants who have 
crossed into the United States in the last several years as “newcomers” or 
“undocumented.”

“This change is designed to encourage more inclusive language in the agency’s 
outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with 
stakeholders, partners, and the general public,” the Department of Homeland 
Security said of its decision to stop using the term “illegal alien.”

Biden has come under fire from Republicans over his handling of the border, 
and House Republicans wore pins that read “Stop The Biden Border Crisis” at 
the State of the Union. 

[The Democrat Party is onr of America's biggest enemies.]
