2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: On what issue is Hillary better than Bernie? [View all]dsc
(53,321 posts)I just went to their respective websites. Bernie has not one single, solitary word about immigration under issues. He voted against Bush's reform in 2007 and has repeatedly blamed immigration for the lowering of wages. Conversely, Hillary voted for Bush's reform in 2007, and has on the front page of her website a link to where she explains in detail her position on immigration, which is this.
So I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship for you and for families across our country. I will fight to stop partisan attacks on the executive actions that would put DREAMersincluding many with us todayat risk of deportation.
And, if Congress refuses to act, as President I will do everything possible under the law to go even further. There are more peoplelike many parents of DREAMers and others with deep ties and contributions to our communitieswho deserve a chance to stay. Ill fight for them too.
The law currently allows for sympathetic cases to be reviewed, but right now most of these cases have no way to get a real hearing. Therefore we should put in place a simple, straightforward, and accessible way for parents of DREAMers and others with a history of service and contribution to their communities to make their case and be eligible for the same deferred action as their children.
But thats just the beginning. Theres much more to do to expand and enhance protections for families and communities. To reform immigration enforcement and detention practices so theyre more humane, more targeted, and more effective. And to keep building the pressure and support for comprehensive reform.
vs not a single, solitary word. Just whom do you think is going to motive Hispanic turnout. This:
