The president of U.S, Joe Biden, said this Friday, February 26, 2021 in an interview with the channel Hispanic Univision that will ensure that undocumented immigrants receive the vaccine against covid-19 and food assistance benefits.
In the interview with the journalist Ilia Calderón, from Univision News, Biden highlighted the importance of “all” undocumented immigrants getting vaccinated, while expressing concern for the “thousands of unaccompanied children” who are on the border of EE.UU. with Mexico.
“We want to take care of every child that arrives at the border,” he said in a part of the interview accompanied by his wife, Jill, who, as first lady, assured that “they will make sure that these children are well and receive medical attention.”
Asked for a new check for $ 1,400 to the contributors, within the stimulus plan that promotes to combat crisis from covid-19, Biden said he is confident it will be ready in a week.
He took the opportunity to urge population to get vaccinated and leave behind any reluctance or mistrust about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine. “It’s safe, he was able to assure it, get the vaccine if it’s available” in your area, urged Biden, 78.
The interview will be broadcast in its entirety next Sunday on the program “Al Punto con Jorge Ramos,” the journalist himself announced in this afternoon’s newscast.
Calderón advanced to Ramos that next Monday the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador, and his US counterpart will meet virtually for the first time and will address such vital issues as those that concern the border, emigration, cooperation between the two countries and covid-19.
In advance of the interview, which was conducted during a visit by Biden to Texas, Calderón commented that he asked the president about the bust of the Hispanic unionist Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) contained in the Oval Office of the White House.
The president responded to the Univision journalist that the figure of the activist for the civil rights of Hispanics is a source of “inspiration” for him.
Biden recently elected Julie Chavez Rodriguez, granddaughter of the unionist, as director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs of the White House.
