President Joe Biden, briefly responding from the podium to jeering from Republicans during his State of the Union speech called a migrant an illegal, prompting criticism from his partys progressive wing.
No human being is illegal, said Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) in a social media post soon afterwards.
In the section of his speech Thursday dealing with immigration policy and the recent failure of a bipartisan bill aiming to secure the border, Bidens criticism of Republicans for killing the bill drew sharp jeers and boos from the GOP side of the chamber.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) shouted, Its about Laken Riley! loudly enough to be heard throughout the chamber including, apparently, from the podium.
