NOGALES, Arizona -- Jessica Elizabeth Orellana Diaz wanted her voice to be heard by Bernie Sanders, even if he needed a translator to understand it.

"Mi unica esperanza es llegar a este país," Orellana told Sanders after describing her painful journey of leaving El Salvador to seek asylum in the United States.

"Her only hope is to come to this country," Arizonan and DREAMer Julio Zuniga said in English, translating for the Vermont senator.

Sanders made his first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border of the presidential campaign Saturday, and speaking in the foreground of the wall dividing two countries said he would fight to provide a path forward for undocumented immigrants....

“Reform” has become among the most meaningless terms in the English language.

"Her only hope is to come to this country,"

Why? What's wrong with her home country? Too racist?

Sanders....said the country needs to "build more bridges, not more walls."

Any more bridges and welcome mats and we'd have more people than India in another generation, most of them unassimilated. ...which of course is precisely what the Rats want.

Sanders said President Barack Obama's administration played a role in what he called the "deportation regime" of the country.

What a sick joke that is.

“Reform” has come to mean amnesty.

Gee, that was fast.

A few minutes ago Red Sanders was Mr. Borders Hisself.

But as soon as he realized he was missing the race card bonanza of foaming at the mouth about keeping the saintly illegals down, he dropped all that old time Democrat silliness about keeping immigration low to shore up the working class wages.

So now it’s Lettum All Come Right Away, and Kick Them NastyCar Nation whiteys to the curb!

Didn’t take him but a bat of an eye.

It’s our country.

We have a right to enforce our laws and borders.

We just need a President who stands with us.

He cares more about the needs of an invader than those of the citizens.
