Activists praise Sanders, criticize Clinton on immigration

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/217697-dreamers-praise-sanders-over-clinton-after-confronting-both-in-iowa

“The reality is that DREAMers and Latinos are not ready for Hillary, unless she can show real leadership on immigration. Will she be a real advocate for immigrants or another ‘deporter in chief.’ ”


Oops, I guess she may not have the Latino vote all locked up yet.


Latinos for Bernie

From the article

Reyes introduced herself as an "Iowa dreamer" to Clinton at the rope line and then asked what she though of Obama's decision.

Clinton replied, "Well, I think we have to just keep working, can’t stop ever working."

Pressed on the issue, Clinton said, "You know, I think we have to elect more Democrats."


I guess not everyone has heard her statements on undocumented workers

with passion for what he believes in which is why he isn't afraid of the press or of questions from ordinary people.

I just saw a comment tonight on Twitter eg which went like this, from a Repub I assumed: 'While I disagree with Sanders on the issues, I have to say he is a man of integrity, and I respect that'.

No one has any doubt as to where he stands on the issues.
