He said he wants to get rid of undocumented criminals
Now you’re moving the goalposts. And it’s NOT in the fucking video.
“Yes, we want to get rid of undocumented criminals in this country, that’s fine, let’s do that.”https://youtu.be/_rBm3PBFQnU?t=1426 Pay attention to his tone when he says the quote and keep watching after the quote.
There is a defined and well-trod path for deporting undocumented criminals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkgNnbTrsgw). Being an undocumented immigrant in the US is a civil offense (which presents its own problems), not a criminal offense. Therefore, undocumented immigrants != undocumented criminals, even though undocumented criminals are still often processed through the civil system which undermines due process and the procedural safeguards of criminal proceedings.
The point that Sanders is making in the speech is that capital class is manipulating proles. The goal of the manipulation is to convince workers that immigrants are to blame for everything being so fuct. You’re zeroing in on something out of context, changing your statements, and completely neglecting the message of worker solidarity in that speech.
Regardless of how one feels about Sanders, strong borders, and punitive immigration enforcement, I think we can all get behind worker solidarity.
