Japan is” xenophobic”, as well as Russia and , China,  , President Joe Biden, 81, declared Wednesday in an extraordinary statement.
Japan is a lifelong U. S. supporter and a counterpoint to China’s growing hostility in the , Asia- Pacific. Lately, Biden attempted to bolster confidence with Japan. In April, he hosted Prime Minister , Fumio Kishida , for a mountain and express meal.
While delivering life remarks at , a campaign charity in Washington to mark the beginning of Eastern American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Biden said the United States’s business was strong expected in part , “because we welcome immigrants”.
Biden next contrasted America to U. S. ally , Japan and combative China, and Russia.  ,” Think about it”, Biden said referencing why their economy supposedly challenge.
” Why is China stalling but poor financially? Why is Japan having problem? Why is Russia”? he questioned.
” Because they’re xenophobic”, he said. ” They do n’t want immigrants”.
The migratory flows has successfully , forced down , Americans ‘ wages and also , boosted , rents , and , accommodation rates. The inflow has even pushed some indigenous- born Americans out of careers in a , large variety , of business sectors and contributed to the , rising death rate , of weak Americans.
The , destructive policy , even sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by , subsidizing southern investors , with a flood of lower- wage workers, higher- occupancy renters, and government- aided consumers.
The population inflow also , reduces , the political , clout , of , native- born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from , the needs , and , interests , of ordinary Americans.
Biden took heat for his accusation.
According to Hall,” It will sound like America is once again talking down to the Japanese, and that’s not really a successful way of getting Japan to fix various problems with its society that even Japanese people would agree are problems.”

Biden has made mistakes in the past, not the first time. Last week at a campaign rally, Biden appeared to have a difficult time speaking clearly. He read the word “pause” from the teleprompter instead of pausing his remarks to allow applause, video shows.
” Imagine what we could do next”, Biden said.  ,” Four more years. Pause”.
Biden, whom special counsel Robert Hur characterized as” an elderly man with a poor memory”, appears to struggle daily with , gaffes.  ,” Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy”? Biden , asked , supporters in April.
Biden made the case for his reelection earlier this year, arguing he is ready for four more years because” I’m in the 20th century”, he said, before correcting himself, saying” the 21st century”.
- About one- third of Democrats , doubt , Biden’s mental fitness, a Harvard/Harris survey recently found.
- Another poll , revealed , 82 percent of Americans harbor concerns about his physical and mental health.
- Only about one- third of voters , say , Biden is physically or mentally fit to serve a second term,  , Quinnipiac , found.
