Biden slams the anti-Mexican rhetoric consuming republicans

US VP slams campaign rhetoric about Mexico as “damaging” and “incredibly inaccurate”

Joe Biden told his audience in Mexico City that some comments about the Mexico and immigrants have been “damaging and incredibly inaccurate.”

“I feel almost obliged to apologise for what some of my political colleagues have said. It is about Mexico, about the Mexican people.”

“It is a heated campaign season, and I just want you to know, Mr. President, that the heated rhetoric that you have heard from some of the competitors for the nomination for president, is not who we are as the American people.”

Republican presidential nomination candidate Donald Trump has made his position clear.

“Mexico is just killing us at the border. At the border. And with trade. Mexico is killing us. Absolutely. We’ll do the wall, don’t worry, we’re going to do the wall. We’re going to do the wall and, by the way, who’s going to pay for the wall? Mexico.”

Someone has to govern and get along with the rest of the world while the GOP builds wall and alienates every other country in the world.
