When CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Bernie Sanders on Sunday if he wants to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, the senator was uncharacteristically vague. “I think that what we need is to create policies which deal with immigration in a rational way. And a rational way is not locking children up in detention centers or separating them from their mothers,” he said. “What we need is Trump to sit down with members of Congress and work on a rational program which deals with this serious issue.”
Sanders wasn’t the only potential 2020 presidential candidate on Sunday to refuse to endorse the abolition of ICE. “There’s no question that we’ve got to critically reexamine ICE and its role, and the way that it is being administered, and the work it is doing,” Senator Kamala Harris of California said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “And we need to probably think about starting from scratch.” But Sanders’s reticence was more surprising to his supporters and other liberals.
“Come on man!” wrote Splinter news editor Jack Mirkinson. “Let’s hope that the next person who gets the chance asks him why he is still taking such a weak and morally timid position on ICE.” Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of The Intercept, wrote that “Sanders is choosing to be on the wrong side of history on this issue.”

These days, you can’t be a good Democrat if you still believe in national borders and the sovereignty of the USA.
Red Wave coming.
Not just open borders, but no border enforcement agency, is their hill on which to be disappointed this election cycle, so they can ratchet up the casualties and property damage on Nov. 7, 2018.

Kamoda realizes that without illegals voting for them they have no chance of winning the presidency.
0bama did NOTHING BUT ignore our in-place immigration laws for EIGHT years - and NOW this is an issue?
A totally manufactured Enemedia Crisis, though we need to BUILD THE WALL!

Bernie the Socialist is now trying to to hi diddle diddle right up the middle.
Believe me, I have known Bernie since his early days of being a one man protest against the garbage truck in the tiny Vermont Mountain hamlet of Stannard back in 1983. And Bernie is, was, and always will be a socialist with a bent toward “benevolent” totalitarianism. He learned from Oblazma to hide it well.
The Burn is an extreme leftist who is out of touch with the People of Venezuela.
It's odd that Wiki doesn't list The Burn as being a former resident intent on taking on The Man's garbage truck.....
Maybe that quest is on The Burn's timeline elsewhere.
What we need, Bernie, is to rid the government and all alphabet agencies of the communists and cultural marxists.
And big media. And public schools and universities. And...
Maybe that quest is on The Burn’s timeline elsewhere. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Bern made the news back then protesting the Garbage Truck to have recycling happen.
Do not believe any official time line about the Bern. One of my bachelor best friends had relations with his first wife.The Bern has been continually re-inventing himself.He is almost as fictional as Obama.If the Bern runs against Trump, he will be so much leftist hamburger left on the field of true history.
translation: In the Democrat Party of 2018, Bernie is a centrist.
For what it’s worth, Bernie Sanders was against the Gang of Eight’s let-them-all-in policy. It’s hard to find jobs in Vermont, and he said that unlimited entry too more of those jobs away.
Yes, he’s an extreme left Communist on most issues, but he didn’t believe in giving Vermonter jobs to illegals.
too=took.
Not evil enough! Thanks EdnaMode.
Today’s democrats are to the left of Bernie! Who’d a thunk it?
Bolshevik Bernie...isn’t left? LOLOLOLOL!! Blatant liars. All of ‘em.
How can Bernie be an avoided socialist when he owns 3 homes?.
Oh no Sanders, you are slipping on the Socialism Scale...Do something...
They have pushed their democrat voters to socialism. Bernie is their god.
