Sanders lays out immigration plan
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is boosting the size of his campaign staff and increasing state budgets in his challenge against the frontrunner for the party’s nomination, Hillary Clinton.
The Sanders plan tackles an ugly truth – that racial profiling and the nation’s vast deportation and detention machinery have made suspected criminals of millions of people who don’t fit the definition. She jokes that she will be telling friends and family members: “You’re not coming to dinner if you didn’t vote”.
If Clinton is hoping to have the significant weight of the Black Lives Matter cause backing her campaign rather than standing against it, she has her work cut out for her. Against this, Sanders has notched two national endorsements, for about 385,000 members.
Sanders’ immigration policy puts him beyond what any other Democratic candidate has proposed so far, the New York Times wrote.
“I’m doing as much as I can”, said Horan, whose cancer has metastasized to her brain. The voting bloc is a must-win for Sanders, who’s trailing Clinton in Iowa and beating her in New Hampshire polls. More specifically, she said that she would be “taking on insurance companies to bring down drug prices”, suggesting that she supports the popular belief that it is the insurers that are making those costs as high as they are for American families.
Looking ahead, Sanders’ plan for the future flow of immigrants is focused on keeping families together, protecting women from discrimination, strengthening and expanding support for refugees, ending the economic exploitation of immigrant workers and reducing health care costs. Again, she is dominant front-runner just as she was 8 years ago. “It is absolutely imperative that foreign policy and how we most effectively destroy ISIS become part of the campaign”, Sanders told John Wagner of The Washington Post. But he but drops off sharply as the Democratic primary contest moves to the South.
Mr. Sanders’s promise to increase immigrants’ access to the justice system, with more funding for courts and lawyers, stands in sharp contrast to the Republican view of unauthorized immigrants as a shadow society of criminals who haven’t been deported yet. Clinton struggled to overcome major controversies over her use of a private email server during her four years heading the State Department and the tens of millions of dollars that she and her husband raked in giving speeches.
