“Do you think that undocumented immigrants who are in this country should get federal benefits like Medicare and Medicaid?” asked one reporter.
“Look, I think that anyone who is in the situation where they’re in need of healthcare -regardless of whether they’re documented or undocumented- we have an obligation to see that they’re cared for,” said Biden.
“The biggest thing we’ve got to do is tone down the rhetoric. We know why it’s happening, it’s to create fear and concern,” he added.

Democratic superstar Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refused to back former Vice President Joe Biden’s potential presidential run over the weekend; saying the top Obama aide’s win would be “going back” while she hopes to “move forward.”

“I can understand why people would be excited by that, this idea that we can go back to the good old days with Obama, with Obama’s vice president. There’s an emotional element to that, but I don’t want to go back. I want to go forward,” she added.
Recent Democrat polling shows Biden slowly losing momentum among supporters, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders taking the top spot in the latest surveys.
