Biden’s 'get in line' remarks put him in hot water with Latino activists

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is doing damage control following a comment at the last Democratic debate that undocumented immigrants should “get in line.”

Biden is taking heat from Latino activists who accuse the former vice president of using “Republican talking points” on immigration, according to Politico.

“It is unacceptable for a candidate vying to be the Democratic nominee for POTUS to use language like that used by VP Biden when talking about immigration during the second debate,” said Mayra Macías, executive director of Latino Victory. “We immediately reached out to the campaign and were told it was being addressed.”

Macías said her “phone started blowing up” with messages and calls from activists when Biden made the comments during the Detroit debate.

During last month’s debate, Biden clashed with rival Julián Castro, who called for decriminalizing border crossings. That's when Biden said illegal immigrants need to wait their turn.
