In reply to the discussion: Sanders breaks with Democrats, praises Trump's border policy on podcast [View all]B.See
(7,196 posts)20. I like Bernie and a lot of things he says, BUT
this is one time when I wish he'd have been more comprehensive in his remarks, not by praising Trump but by pointing out all the ways Trump and his MAGAS (even before him) have tried to undermine any REAL efforts at immigration reform, for decades.
Would've also been nice if he'd noted how, IF this was about immigration, then the rules should apply to everyone.
Because, the fact that the fascist in Chief is sending masked thugs into inner cities to round up Black and Brown men, women, and children, while extending open arms to white S. Afrikaners and certain people of "European ancestry" CLEARLY shows this whole thing hasnt a FKNG thing to do with immigration.

Agreed. While the buck ultimately stops with Biden, it appears that his first chief of staff, Ron Klain, played a big
