Before a crowd in Trinidad Vice President Joseph R. Biden claimed that the U.S. is not showing respect for other countries if it does not pass amnesty for illegal aliens. Said Biden, “I believe in international relations, as in any relationship, it comes down to respect. Do we respect one another? And do we show respect? For my country, that means reforming our immigration system so the 11 million — 11 million — undocumented men, women and many children . . . can come out of the shadows and be full participants in American life . . . .”
