White House press secretary Karine Jean- Pierre on Thursday refused to apologize to Japan after President Joe Biden, 81, called the U. S. alliance” xenophobic”.
While delivering life notes at , a campaign charity in Washington, Biden said the United States’s business was strong expected in part , “because we welcome immigrants”.
Biden,  , whom specific counsel Robert Hur characterized as” an old man with a bad recollection”, contrasted America to U. S. ally , Japan and hostile China, and Russia.
Biden said,” Think about it,” referring to the alleged battle their economies have had. ” Why is China stalling but poor financially? Why is Japan having problem? Why is Russia”?
” Because they’re xenophobic”, he said. ” They do n’t want immigrants”.
Japan is a longstanding alliance of the U. S. as a counterbalance to China’s growing hostility in the , Asia- Pacific. Recently, Biden attempted to bolster confidence with Japan. In April, he hosted Prime Minister , Fumio Kishida , for a mountain and state meal.

The leader, along with China and Russia, described Japan as” racist” last night. Was that purposeful? a columnist asked Jean- Pierre”. Does the senator wish to make an apology to Japan?
” The broader circumstance that he was trying to make,” Jean- Pierre replied”, which I think most — most officials and friends across the globe understand, is he’s — he was trying — he was saying that when it comes to — when it comes to — when it comes to who we are as a society, we are a society of — of refugees. That is in our Genome.”
Jean- Pierre continued to evade speaking:
And — and consequently — and you’ve heard the President say this, and you’ve heard us say it more as an management. It’s in — it makes us better. Because we are an immigrant state, our DNA makes us stronger. And I believe that should be very important to notice as well. And that’s what he was —
Jean- Pierre’s say that size movement makes the United States stronger. Evidence demonstrates that immigration laws could adversely affect American employees.  ” ,This imperialism- like policy , extracts , large amounts of , people resources from , needy , countries, reduces , useful trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and customers to develop Wall Street and industrial economies, like as , New York,” Breitbart News’s Neil Munro , wrote:
The migrant inflow has successfully , forced down , Americans ‘ wages and also , boosted , rents , and , housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native- born Americans out of careers in a , wide variety , of business sectors and contributed to the , rising death rate , of poor Americans.
The , lethal policy , also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by , subsidizing coastal investors , with a flood of low- wage workers, high- 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.
REPORTER:” The word’ xenophobic’ is a very pejorative and negative word, particularly to use against an ally. Is that what]Biden ] meant?”
KARINE JEAN- PIERRE:” The president was very clear!”
REPORTER:” He was n’t very clear — that’s why we’re asking you. “pic. twitter.com/EbEa9qEmsV
