Jill Biden, the wife of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, fed foreign nationals in Mexico this week who are attempting to enter the United States and faced intense backlash online for ignoring the needs of struggling American citizens.

“It’s not who we are as Americans,” Jill Biden after spending time at the camp. “We are a welcoming nation, but that’s not the message that we’re sending at the border. We’re saying, ‘Stop. Don’t come in.’”

Jill Biden’s remarks come on the heels of Joe Biden declaring during the recent Democrat presidential debate, in response to a question about reparations for African-American, that “the reason we’re the country we are is because of immigration.”

“They are the future of America,” Joe Biden yelled, adding “and you should get used to it.”

Immigration attorney Matthew Kolken called out Biden for his role in helping the Obama administration deport millions of immigrants and cage children at the border.

“The administration Biden served in deported more immigrants than all of the Presidents of the 20th century combined,” Kolken tweeted. “That administration built deportation internment camps and caged children. He must condemn the human rights violations of Barack Obama, and apologize for his role.”
