Date: December 2nd, 2007
Situation: Public Question – AMOS (Interfaith group) Forum – Des Moines
Question: Senator Biden, I want to follow up on your comments about immigration. Could you please comment on how NAFTA and other so-called free trade policies have contributed to undocumented immigration by destroying the economic opportunities of many people and thus driving them out of their countries as a result of their economic desperation?
Answer: According to the Register, “Senator Biden responded in part by talking about tainted toys currently shipped to the United States from China” but did not fully answer the question.
