During a fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign, President Joe Biden emphasized the importance of immigrants in driving the U.S. economy. He pointed out that countries like China, Japan, and India are struggling economically due to xenophobia, while the United States is expected to see slight growth thanks to immigrants expanding the labor force.
In contrast to other countries that have closed their borders to immigrants, the United States has embraced diversity and welcomed millions of people from all over the world. This has helped fuel our economic success and allowed us to compete on a global scale.
The International Monetary Fund recently forecasted a deceleration in economic growth for China, Japan, and India in 2024. On the other hand, the United States is expected to see a slight increase in growth thanks in part to immigration. By embracing diversity and welcoming immigrants, Biden believes that we can continue to strengthen our economy on a global scale.
With concern about irregular migration looming as a key issue in the upcoming presidential election, Biden has positioned himself as a proponent of immigration. He has criticized the anti-immigrant rhetoric of his Republican opponent and stressed the importance of building economic and political relationships with countries like Japan and India. By embracing diversity and welcoming immigrants, Biden believes that we can continue to build a better future for ourselves and our children.
