Remember, though, Democrats are not for open borders
Bernie released a comprehensive immigration platform today. Some of the highlights:
– dismantle ICE and CBP
– decriminalize illegal immigration
– stop all deportations
– accept 50,000 "climate migrants" in first year
– and much, much more— Jason Melo (@thejasonmelo) November 7, 2019
Yeah, this should be a winning plan for the general election, right?
(Daily Caller) Sanders also called for an end to detention for illegal aliens who do not carry a violent crime conviction and instead provide them “community-based alternatives to detention,†such as programs that offer illegal aliens educational, health, legal and work resources. (snip)
In what appears to be a stretch into the senator’s environmental platform, Sanders also declared that he would accept a minimum of 50,000 “climate migrants†in the first year of his presidency, welcoming migrants allegedly displaced by climate change. He also wants to establish a $14 billion legal defense program to assist poor migrants undergoing immigration cases.
From what we’ve seen in Democrat sanctuary jurisdictions, rapists, arsonists, and child predators, among others, are considered non-violent. And, cool, spending $14 billion to help “climate refugees” and such. How much more will be required to feed and house and take care of all these folks for the rest of their lives?
