A rediscovered video from 2006 shows then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., pushing for illegal immigrants to learn English as a condition for legal status because, in Biden's words, nations with two accepted languages don't do "all too well." Matthews seemed to agree with the language requirement -- saying that immigrants speaking English would "unite" the country and prevent the U.S. from becoming like Canada, where many residents speak both English and French. The video came to light as Biden launches his challenge against Trump, who earlier this month proposed a policy requiring future immigrants to learn English. Another video that emerged earlier this month shows Biden pushing for a border fence and criminal punishment for "illegals." "I think we should do that,"Biden has also come under fire from Republicans for saying that illegal immigrants should have access to taxpayer-funded health care.
