MIAMI — Vice President Joe Biden extolled immigration as crucial to American innovation Saturday at a college graduation ceremony in South Florida.
Biden acknowledged at Miami Dade College that he was addressing many immigrants and the children and grandchildren of immigrants.
Biden said a “constant, substantial stream of immigrants” is important to the American economy, urging citizenship for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
“That’s why we have to act to bring 11 million people out of the shadows and put them on a path to citizenship,” Biden said.
