Former Vice President and 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden told reporters that it’s the United States responsibility to provide health care for illegal immigrants.
“I think that anyone who is in a situation where they’re in need of health care, regardless of whether they are documented or undocumented, we have an obligation to see that they are cared for,” the front-running Democratic presidential candidate said at a campaign stop-over in Los Angeles.
“That’s why I think we need more clinics around the country.”

Biden also went out of his way to say that that a “significant number of undocumented” find themselves in that status because they “overstayed their visas.”
“The biggest thing we have a to do on this thing is just to tone down the rhetoric. We know why this is happening. This creates fear and concern,” Biden said, suggesting that people whose jobs are “in tough shape” are willing to blame “that other immigrant” in language that is “graphic, very unflattering.”
Biden didn’t, however, address the cost of medical care for the millions of illegal aliens, which is in contrast to the message at his initial campaign rally in Pittsburg where he focused on the monetary fallout of governmental movements.
Just days after his much-anticipated announcement launching his 2020 presidential campaign, Biden held his first campaign rally in Pittsburgh, P.A. at a Teamster hall, where he received the endorsement from the International Association of Fire Fighters, Fox News reported.
“The stock market is roaring. But you don’t feel it. There was a $2 trillion tax cut last year.
Did you feel it? Did you get anything from it?” Biden asked as the audience chanted “No” in response.
Biden appealed to the middle-class who he said are still struggling with stagnant wages, despite economic growth of the past few years.
The Scranton, P.A. native is considered to be a front runner in the packed 2020 Democratic field.
