Sanders also faulted the Republican-controlled House of Representatives for refusing to consider a Senate-passed immigration reform bill passed by a bipartisan majority of 68-32 in 2013. It is incomprehensible that the U.S. House has not yet taken up the comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate with my support, Sanders said. We need legislation which takes 11 million undocumented people living in the United States out of the shadows and puts them on a path to citizenship.
In a statement, Sanders said: This country has experienced racism for hundreds of years. I would have hoped that by the year 2015 leading candidates for president like Mr. Trump would campaign on their ideas as to how they can address our serious problems, and not by trying to divide the country with racist and demagogic appeals. Clearly Trump is scapegoating the Hispanic community. Immigrants are not responsible, Sanders stressed, for the disappearing American middle class, the Wall Street collapse brought on by huge financial institutions greed and illegal behavior, the war in Iraq, income inequality or climate change.
In recent weeks, Trump has proposed the mass deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. as well as their American-born children. He called for amending the Constitution to end automatic citizenship for children born to immigrants living illegally in the U.S. He has denounced immigrants from Mexico and other Central American nations as really bad. He also has vilified immigrants from Latin America in general as responsible for bringing drugs, bringing crime into the U.S. He also has branded them as rapists.
