Thursday at “Netroots Nation” in Detroit, Michigan when Vice President Joe Biden was interrupted by protesters chanting, “Stop deporting our families!” he stopped his speech to lead a round of applause, proclaiming, “I share your views.”
The Vice President said, “I respect your view and I share your view.” Once the protesters settled down, he added, “we should clap for those young people. Can you imagine the pain the anxiety of coming home every day and wondering if your father or mother will be there, can you imagine?”
On Wednesday, Mr. Biden said immigration reform is a priority because it will result in “dignity” for all Americans. “It’s long past time for immigration reform,” he said. “It is such an overwhelming reason why America is what it is today.”
