What a contrast to other Democrats like Beto and Castro.

is mentioned in this article. He admired Bernie's position on immigration.

it's when a far right, white supremacist, racist Repub remarks how your positions on immigration are to the right of moderate Republicans.

Sanders was on the side of the SPLC on this one.

mentioned in the article. There are other instances where Sanders preferred to side with the far right anti-immigration Repubs instead of the Democrats.

Sanders has fought for racial justice for over 50 years. You'd have to be extremely delusional to say he's in the same "pod" as nativist Dobbs.

Any opinion on his stand-alone amendment in support of the Minutemen, or in the Sierra Blanca toxic waste dump?

Guest workers programs were being abused to fill IT jobs etc. because they worked cheaper than American IT workers, and the Guest Worker programs took away so many rights of the workers that the SPLC called them "akin to slavery." As always, Sanders was fighting income inequality & corporations ripping off American workers while working FOR workers rights.

The key goal of the right on the Internet today is to divide the Dem coalition- for example to divide whites and Hispanics, and whites and blacks.

Don’t let them

Disappointing to see this on DU. If you hate Sanders, find a genuine issue to debate.

This OP “reminder” is myopic, shortsighted, and totally lacks context.

Sanders was right—the guest worker program is used by Republicans to replace qualified American workers with cheaper, foreign workers. It was a Trojan horse.

Find another issue to express a grievance with Sanders, this is propaganda.

They don't want you here, they are against trade agreements that might help you, they too are for tariffs, etc. They might not be quite as hateful in describing their America First or "Economic Patriotism" as trump, but the results are the same.

Remember him on Lou Dobbs? They sounded like two peas in a pond

...for a republican bill.

He voted against giving Dreamers a path to citizenship.

I will add that Bernie was mayor of Burlington when Chittendon county became a refugee resettlement area. That means that there are many Somali, Vietnamese, Nepalese, Iraqis, people from the Congo etc in Burlington and the surrounding area. Obviously, not the action of someone against immigrants! ( Before it is questioned, the mayors of the cities would be the top local officials.)

Burlington is 85% white.



2016: The racial makeup of the city was 85.7% White, 4.9% Black or African American, 0.4% Native American, 6.0% Asian (1.3% Chinese, 1.1% Bhutanese, 0.9% Nepalese, 0.6% Vietnamese, 0.5% Indian, 0.4% Burmese, 0.3% Indonesian, 0.2% Korean, 0.1% Cambodian, 0.1% Laotian, 0.1% Filipino, 0.1% Japanese, 0.1% Thai), and 2.5% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.6% of the population (0.7% Puerto Rican, 0.4% Mexican, 0.3% Dominican, 0.2% Cuban, 0.2% Spanish, 0.2% Colombian, 0.1% Honduran, 0.1% Peruvian, 0.1% Argentine).

I realize that many major cities have greater percents of people not born in the US. However, these immigrants, including two city councilors out of 12, make an impact on the character of the town.
It is common to see people dressed in their traditional garb. I never saw that in suburban NJ.

The point is that Burlington, under Sanders, welcomed refugees and still does. Sorry, you can not accept that.

They want to backpedal and pretend it was out of concern for poor immigrants, when you can see in his a[[appearance on Lou Dobbs he doesn't care for them AT ALL

Thanks!

Reasons.

Why on earth?

against that?

I have to say I hope someone else will be our nom as voting for him will be necessary but oh so difficult

He is crashing and Berning! That's why he is acting so desperate

“Nobody, I mean not many people believe in open borders. If you simply opened the borders, you’d have people from Vietnam and China and Mexico and Latin America coming in. And no one thinks that is a plausible approach. On the other hand, I think the strength of this nation is the diversity and the new ideas from immigrants from all walks of life have given this country. So you need a rational, non-racist immigration policy which welcomes people in from all over the world to improve our economy, but clearly you cannot have open borders.”

where is his legislation? McConnell hasn't been there for decades.

Is it true he only shows up when he can vote against immigrants on some specious small point?

Thanks, still_one.
