Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL): “Disappointed that [President Biden] would use such dehumanizing right wing rhetoric to speak about immigrants tonight. No human being is illegal.”
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA): “Just like we should not be implementing Republican policy, we should not be repeating Republican rhetoric.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN): “Let me be clear: No human being is illegal.”
