Well, I am breaking from my tribe to cut demented Joe some slack here. First, it is quite possible he meant "Hispanic immigrants". It's election season; votes and voters are a concern and might get scrambled in his brain. Secondly, the quote cuts off. He said "It's even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or Hispanic - Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens."
Biden would be best served by avoiding the subject altogether, like every other subject he doesn't comment on.
First he called them "voters," and in his correction called them "citizens." If you're a citizen, of legal age and not a convicted felon, you have the right to vote. It was as if he had them voting on the brain.

Some focused on his saying he'll debate OMB (I doubt he has a say on the matter given how his keepers are the ones in full control of his microphone), which is a legit headline. But the wax nostalgic headlines were hiding the truth.

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

President Joe Biden accidentally referred to Hispanic illegal immigrants as “voters” in an interview with a Spanish radio show on Thursday while discussing the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
"It's even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or Hispanic - Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens," President Biden said while talking to the host of the radio show Chiquibaby.
In the same interview, Biden likened the current immigration levels to the 1840s Irish migration to the United States due to famine and persecution.
Biden said that the current crisis is "a little bit like back in the 1840s and the great exodus of Ireland, because of the famine and the way Irish Catholics were treated. They said no, no, we don't need any more of those folks. There was a large influx."
"The Hispanic community is part of the future of America," Biden continued. "Twenty-eight out of every 100 students in school speak Spanish, the idea that you’re gonna ignore that? That’s our future. One of the reasons that we’re growing so much is we have a significant influx of immigrants coming into our country, only reason our economy’s so good. We’re not a xenophobic nation. Other nations are, we’re not, that’s why our economy is the best in the world."
However, Biden's mistake of calling Hispanic illegal immigrants "voters" sparked criticism on social media, with many accusing him of a Freudian slip and inadvertently revealing his political agenda.

Come on CP, you can't trigger someone who is perpetually calm and in control of themselves ALL THE TIME, and constantly shows restraint as much as jim does.

No, doing so would be too aspirational. Like Icarus I would be flying too close to the sun, and would inevitably find my wings clipped.
