 Pshaw! That's just nonsense.

 
 Even without the influx of Hispanics into the country it makes sense

 voters. Ignoring them makes no sense in the long run. Assuming that
 the majority are going to end up voting Democrat also doesn't make
 sense. It will be years before anyone entering the country from
 South/Central America will be able to vote so it will be the policies
 in place at that time that are more likely to impact which party they
 tend to vote for.

 Could we have the entire quote in context of a portion of the transcript
 please?

 
 Looks like BTR was quoting this Fox News article:

 President Biden appeared to accidentally refer to Hispanic migrants as
 "voters" during an interview on a Spanish-speaking radio show released
 Tuesday.
 
 "It's even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or
 Hispanic - Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens," President
 Biden said of the current migrant crisis.
 
 He argued that the current wave of immigration is "a little bit like
 back in the 1840s and the great exodus of Ireland, because of the
 famine and the way Irish Catholics were treated. They said no, no, we
 don't need any more of those folks. There was a large influx."
 
 "The Hispanic community is part of the future of America," Biden told
 a host from Spanish radio show Chiquibaby this week. "Twenty-eight out
 of every 100 students in school speak Spanish, the idea that you’re
 gonna ignore that? That’s our future. One of the reasons that we’re
 growing so much is we have a significant influx of immigrants coming
 into our country, only reason our economy’s so good. We’re not a
 xenophobic nation. Other nations are, we’re not, that’s why our
 economy is the best in the world."
 
 -----
 It's the sort of typical miss step that people have when speaking. Fox
 News naturally chooses to read into it some nefarious meaning when it
 is more likely that Biden just used the wrong term by accident. After
 all the people coming in today aren't going to be voting for some time
 to come.
 

 True. The Rs want to make sure the non-citizens don't vote

 
 Why would only Republicans want to make sure of that? Shouldn't every
 American want to ensure that foreign nationals aren't swaying out
 elections?
 

 there's already a 'rule' for that. When you register you have to be a
citizen to
 do so.

 
 But no enforcement of it. It's basically on the honor system.
 

What Adam said. There's a couple of steps where verification takes place.

And yet despite what Adam said, roughly 4000 non-citizens voted in Nevada in
the last election.

It sounds like Nevada has incompetent procedures. How did the witness
get the dead to admit they voted?
