Though Vice President Joe Bidenstill hasn't decided whether or not he's up for diving into the 2016 presidential race, he's definitely not hesitating to put Donald Trump on proper blast for his increasingly problematic stupid thoughts on immigration. During his hosting duties at a reception honoring Hispanic Heritage Month at the Naval Observatory, Biden delivered a message of hope for those fearing any sort of victory from Trump and his ilk.

"This isn't about Democrat, Republican," Biden told the audience, according to Mashable. "It's about a sick message. This message has been tried on America many times before. We always, always, always overcome." In Biden's eyes (and much of the nation's), Trump has "absolutely denigrated an entire group of people, appealing to the baser side of human nature, working on this notion of xenophobia in a way that hasn’t occurred in a long time."

"Folks, the American people are with us,” Biden added. “I know it doesn’t feel that way. But I’m telling you. I’m telling you. The American people agree with us.” Though Biden's comments are still relatively mild when considering the fact that Trump's message often includes the assumption that all migrants are "rapists," it's supremely rewarding to see someone from the White House directly address the nation's Trump epidemic.
