BERNIE SANDERS ON IMMIGRATION

[berniepdx420]

Bernie Sanders has said that we are a “nation of immigrants. That is, in fact, the strength of America.” Given this view, he believes the United States must create an immigration system that invites greater innovation, diversity, and economic opportunity for both American-born citizens and the people who want to make this land their home. Bernie supports immigration reform that will address the legal status of the 11 million undocumented people in our country, protect American jobs by way of visa reform, secure the border, and protect undocumented workers from labor exploitation.

Path to Citizenship: We ought to provide a path to citizenship for people from many different countries.

DREAM Act: Supports the path toward permanent residency for young, undocumented immigrants.

Visa Reform: Reject the exploitation of workers and the use of visas for cheap, foreign labor. Increase opportunities for qualified individuals to take steps towards permanent residency.

Border Security: We can and must secure borders without building a fence.

1. I thought he gave really good answers on immigration, as well as on

other kitchen table subjects - stuff that's really important to people - at last night's town hall.

Well done, Bernie!
