Sanders is a KOOK.. the type that brought down the Soviet Union..
Funny how all of Sanders' policies was promoted by the most popular presidents in our history, like FDR and Truman, and have been in place for DECADES in all of our most important allies, including Canada, Israel and the UK.

Anyone who doesnt understand the difference between these countries and the Soviet Union are just beyond reach.

Stop blaming the boogeyman for everything and look in your own backyard for a change.
I don't blame just the libs but come on and try being a bit honest here. Obama has all but ignored the border for 8 years now. Who is in charge? But those of you Americans who plan on gov help for food and shelter can all but kiss it goodbye. You will have to move over now.

Of course it doesn't but I'm glad someone else decided to point it out.

I believe Sanders wants a more secure border, and some kind of path to citizenship. His history shows he's more protectionist in that regard but I can tell he's trying to toe the line because it's difficult to get the liberal and hispanic vote otherwise.

Unions hate illegal immigration because under current law they cannot knowingly organize them. Many non-union employers love them because they're willing to work for MUCH less, are generally dependable, and often what we call "job scared". They'll do whatever it takes to keep their job. In my opinion, I'd like to see them all deported...or see them all gain citizenship and start paying taxes and unionize so it wouldn't be so easy for employers to cheat the system.

He didn't say it just because you say so. He has been for closing the borders for a long time. BTW closing the borders does not mean no one ever gets in.

Really? Is that really what you believe the 2 options are?
Fascism is when wealthy special interests have hijacked the only potential democratic institution in the country; the government. That's precisely what we are seeing and why Sanders is doing so well. For 40 years, ordinary, working class Americans have been crushed by a combination of anti-worker and anti-American trade deals, weakening of the unions, erosion of the minimum wage, weakening of anti-Trust laws and deregulation of the financial industry. Its getting impossible for ordinary people to run for office without begging the rich and powerful for money. If we dont move towards public funding of elections, the American democracy is finished soon and plutocracy will be the political system in America.

Tax rates will probably skyrocket.

Good for Bernie.

At least he's honest.

Once you break down Sanders, who is composed of Presidents FDR, William Howard Taft, Teddy Roosevelt, and even your saint Reagan
no, no they dont.. Reagan nor Roosevelt proposed adding $3 trillion a year to federal expenditures that arent funded.

And you dont think more governmental regulations will increase the amount special interest groups will hijack of the process?
