Why Are More People Not Outraged About How Bernie Sanders Frames His Views on Immigrants?

25. He's always done a balancing act to draw RW and LW populilsts.

The first part of his statement is spoken to his social conservative populists, the rest to reassure his LW radical/socialistic followers that he's really on the "right side" of this issue.

Note that while immigration issues are very important to his social conservatives, immigration's far less important than class resentments and healthcare to his LW factions. ALSO that his following seems to be dominated by the antagonisms of the social cons, at least one hopes from the behaviors of 2016. In any case, he has to keep them happy.

As to why we aren't seeming more expressions of outrage from Democrats? I'm still trying to figure out how any normal Democrat could support him. Of course much of the answer is probably in earnest statements like, "I like both Biden and Sanders" and "I like Kamala, but Bernie's my second choice."
