Biden roasted for 'Freudian slip' referring to immigration influx of 'Hispanic voters'
One commentator suggested this confirms Biden thinks of immigrants as 'future Democrat voters'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}President Biden appeared to accidentally refer to Hispanic migrants as "voters" during an interview on a Spanish-speaking radio show released Tuesday.
"It's even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or Hispanic - Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens," President Biden said of the current migrant crisis.
He argued that the current wave of immigration is "a little bit like back in the 1840s and the great exodus of Ireland, because of the famine and the way Irish Catholics were treated. They said no, no, we don't need any more of those folks. There was a large influx."

"Twenty-eight out of every 100 students in school speak Spanish, the idea that you’re gonna ignore that? That’s our future. One of the reasons that we’re growing so much is we have a significant influx of immigrants coming into our country, only reason our economy’s so good. We’re not a xenophobic nation. Other nations are, we’re not, that’s why our economy is the best in the world."
