I read their statements and they seem to know what they're doing.

I stand with them, the Dreamers and the co-sponsor of the DREAM act, Senator Bernie Sanders.

Indeed! Here he is on the Senate floor in 2013 speaking for Dreamers: beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #11
Here he is in 2007 repeating a false story about immigrants taking lifeguard jobs. SunSeeker Sep 2017 #14
You mean Bush's bill? The one the SPLC likened to slavery? beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #15

Ted Kennedy proposed an immoral bill? Was he for slavery? lunamagica Sep 2017 #45
I dunno, the SPLC and League of United Latin American Citizens thought it was like slavery. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #46
Oh. so you think he DID want to pass an immoral bill and was for slavery lunamagica Sep 2017 #48
He had good reasons to support it and others had good reasons to oppose it. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #50
If the immigration bill had passed, there'd be no need for the DREAM act lunamagica Sep 2017 #51
The SPLC, LULAC and Bernie all had good reasons to oppose it. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #53

That was the 2005 bill, it appears they changed their mind in 2007. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #62

I'm sure snowman3 from Dkos is nice and all, but again, I'll have to defer to the SPLC and LULAC. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #72
Oh. I see you can't find any reference to Sanders voting out of concern for the migrant workers in lunamagica Sep 2017 #73
That's snowman3's opinion, that doesn't make it the truth. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #74
Then show me where he said it lunamagica Sep 2017 #75
It's up to you to prove your allegation, it's not my job to disprove it. beam me up scottie Sep 2017 #76
