Why Conservatives Praise Bernie Sanders on Immigration
But the praise is not accidental. Sanders opposition to the 2007 immigration reform bill and his rhetoric about the effect of immigrant labor on American workers have dismayed immigration activists and liberal allies in the past. He has expressed concern repeatedly over the years that guest workers in the United States depress wages and squeeze Americans out of their jobs.
Sanders opposed comprehensive immigration reform in 2007 on the grounds that it would expand the number of guest workers in the United States. It included a measure that would allow 200,000 guest workers to stay in the country for two years on temporary visas. The bill was widely supported by immigrant rights groups and would have put the undocumented on a path to citizenship.
If poverty is increasing and if wages are going down, I dont know why we need millions of people to be coming into this country as guest workers who will work for lower wages than American workers and drive waged down even lower than they are now, Sanders said in a television interview in June 2007.

YES - I think it's highly petty for Bernie to feel like he needs to say me too me too me too me too!

Bernie gave a solid anti-Trump response in his usual style. Thank you, Bernie.

Good point. Work together, not separately, even if they presumed goal is the same.
