Candidate joe biden held out a get out the vote event in the chinatown neighborhood of las vegas. This is 15 minutes. Patients exceeds your exceedsyour patience your good judgment. Thank you very much, gary. Gary and my family and i have become good friends. We have had the most diverse cabinet in american history. I think we had the best cabinet in american history. I listened to you when you spoke. I was astounded. You asked your husband to marry you. I had want you to know, to ask my wife, jill, five times to marry me. Not a joke. Five times. Finally, i said, and you will appreciate this because we are all from immigrant paths. My mother would say they got my irish up. I came back from south africa trying to see no sin mandala and getting arrested for trying to see him on robyn island. Back, the first thing i did, i landed in philadelphia. I went back to her apartment in wilmington, delaware. I knocked on her door. She said, come on in. I said, im not coming in. I said, youre finally got my irish up. Im going to ask you one more time. You do not have to tell me when, just if we will marry me. I said, will you marry me . She went like this. Ok. My sistered valerie i asked her, he asked her, what made you change your mind . I fell in love with the boys. I had my two boys. She said, i fell in love with the boys. I envy your husband notwithstanding. I know what it is like to lose a spouse. God love you. Thank you. Coming,t know she was that i want to introduce you to a relative of ours from ireland. I did not know she was going to be here. Mothers mothers name was blewitt. My fathers name was finnegan. One was from county mayo in ireland. During the terrible potato famine when the british were doing very bad things to the irish at the time, not a joke, my great great grandfather got headedip in 1842 and with several of his family members, i believe illegally, to louisiana. New orleans. Made his way north. Where are you sitting . Are you out there somewhere . There she is. We caught up i have been to ireland many times. Obamaght up when barack the equivalent of the Prime Minister kept saying, let joe come to ireland. We want to give him 100,000 welcomes. I went to ireland and i found out i had never met my family. She heads up hospice ireland. They just dedicated a 4 million facility to my deceased son who died of cancer. Thank you for being here. [applause] Vice President biden the reason i bothered to tell you that is because gary is talking of families. It has always been about family. Not a joke. It has always been about family. Each of your families when they decided to get on a boat or a plane or however they got here and head of to the United States, they did not know what was going to happen. They were not at all certain things would be all right. But they had the courage and the tenacity and the resilience and the optimism to think they could make it, that they could do it. I met i was in Southeast Asia not long ago. Actually, i was meeting with a group of leaders. I said to them, the reason why america is who we are because we have been able to cherry pick the best and i mean this sincerely we are the most unique country in the world because we have been able to cherry pick the best from every continent and culture. The people who, are people who are resilient. People who have courage. People who are ready to work and work and provide for themselves and their families. That is who we are, truly. [applause] Vice President biden we are a nation of immigrants. The idea this president and many of his cohorts treat this like it is a problem imagine what we would be if we did not have immigration. I spent a lot of time when i was Vice President of japan and i had a lot of discussions with mr. Abe. Culture, and a woman as well educated and marries and has children, she is encouraged to stop engaging in the workforce. With not have a problem workforce replacement. That is one of our strengths because people keep coming. An awful lot of nations are more xenophobic. So what is happening . , i said,ck from japan mark my words. They are going to change their policy just like china is going to change their policy about one child. They are going to have more people in china retired then all the people who work. They cannot sustain it. They did away with the one child policy. Is, they generic Point United States is the most unique country in the world. Youre a product of an idea. You cannot define an american for me. You cannot define when based on ethnicity, race, national origin. It is an idea. The idea we decided that we hold these truths to be selfevident that all men, women are created equal. It sounds corny, but it is true. No nation in history has ever been organized based on an idea. You define palmist can define a most every other nation based on ethnicity or tribe. This kind of white house has no idea of it. Zero. [applause] want tosident biden i say a couple things quickly. Is that the support of your community has been incredible. As soon as this is over, they are going to march me to the door. We are going to have one of the people im going to shake hands with every single one of you. 99 of not heard from the api community. 99 of not heard from the africanamerican community. We have not heard from 99 of the hispanic or latino community. The idea we are going to decided nomination before we have heard from all of those folks is ridiculous. The fact is that everyone is going to get a chance to vote and vote early in the state. The fact is, that is why Barack Barack i call him because i do not want to confuse him with that other guy who is the president. That is why we took the community so seriously. Judgesinted more aa pi to the federal bench then any time in history. Women thanmore aa pi any administration combined. Expanded opportunities throughout the community. We provided compensation for filipino war veterans of world war ii, which was long overdue. But we got it done because we understand who we owe debts of gratitude to. Most people only think about latino immigrants when we talk about immigrants. . Offered opportunity to thousands of filipino dreamers. My plan is going to legalize dreamers and include a road to citizenship. By the way, gary, i have proposed we not only deal with the 800 to 200,000 we should increase to 3 Million People the people who can come for family unification. I think about it. Think about it. , strong, vibrant country. The idea we cannot reunite more families is bizarre. It is what makes us strong. It is the web that holds us together. University of Las Vegas Nevada las vegas uses the grant money we supply to students for supporting 4000 aa pi students. The idea there is some limitation on the capacity of the immigrants in this country is bizarre. Theically through Affordable Care act, we cut in half the number of uninsured in the aa pi community. That is why i am fighting so hard to protect obamacare and build on it and not tear it down and start over. Have gainedmericans coverage under obamacare. 2 million in the aa pi community. 100 Million People. In this United States of america, a million had preexisting conditions where they could not get coverage. Someld with asthma or other problem. I was stunned to find out two weeks ago donald trump said the reason we have preexisting conditions covered is because of him. He is a preexisting condition we have to take care of. [applause] biden i amnt taking too much of your time. I apologize. There is so much to say, so much to do. So many good friends to do it with. Everybody knows who donald trump is. We have to let him know who we are. We have to restore decency and honor. The reason why america has been able to lead the world is not because we are the most powerful military. The idea, not the power of military, the power of our example that has caused the rest of the world to repair to us. You talk to people from where you have emigrated. What are they asking you . What is happening in america . What is going on . What has changed . We are reducing our standing in the world in a matter of years unlike any time in american history. We have to reestablish the decency and honor. Everybody knows who donald trump is. Even his supporters do not want to do not want their kids to grow up like him. I am being deadly earnest. We thought there is a basic american code of honesty, decency, leaving no one behind, treating everyone with dignity. Giving hate no safe harbor. That is who we have been. Look at how it has changed so rapidly. We have to let them know who we are. We have to show who we are. What im going to make sure we do is we choose hope over fear. We choose science over affection. Over affection. Fiction. We choose truths over live we choose truth over lives. It is time for us to get up. We have never set a goal we have been unable to accomplish when we have done it together. We are going to be together when i am president. We are going to take back this country, and become the envy of the world again. May god protect our troops. [applause] thank all of you for joining us tonight. We are not done yet. Now comes the most important part. We need all of you to head over to the chinatown model to cast your ballot. We all need to be an line by 8 00 p. M. Everything we have worked for has led up to this. I am so excited to have had the opportunity. You can cast your ballot and headon back.
