The remark drew criticism, prompting the White House to issue a clarification. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden was making a "broader point" about the importance of immigration for the US economy. She affirmed that American allies and partners are well aware of Biden's respect for them. Jean-Pierre emphasized that the President's comments were intended to highlight the nation's identity as a country of immigrants, which contributes to its strength.
