Speaking at a fundraiser last week, Biden praised recent immigrants’ choice to choose America in an effort to win them over to the party. He also made an effort to appease the party’s cynics on the current surge in immigration that has overrun Mexico’s border with the United States.
It’s possible that Biden was unsuccessful in both of his attempts to prove a connection between the “faltering economies” and “xenophobic” attitudes toward immigration in the four nations.

While other nations are entitled to their own opinions, it would be inaccurate to characterise India as pathologically hostile to foreigners or xenophobic. There hasn’t been a refugee policy in India since independence; instead, as in the US, political considerations determine how those who are escaping persecution or economic collapse would be treated.
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar used the Citizenship Amendment Act as a counterargument to Biden’s statement, but it has a narrow purpose. But despite the fact that it was congested, complicated, and competitive, migrants have long found a pleasant home here.

In terms of foreign policy, Biden was defaming important allies of the United States at a time when the Great Power rivalry is resurgent and there is no longer a single, unchallenged superpower. He labelled Japan and India as xenophobes, and they are both members of the Quad that competes with China both strategically and economically.
It is particularly ill-timed that the masters of black operations are relentlessly harassing the Indian government over the Gurpatwant Singh Pannun case. In order to maintain leadership in a changing global system, the US has to strengthen its network of regional institutions and partnerships.
