LOS ANGELES, California — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) spoke at a town hall meeting on immigration reform at the Casa del Mexicano on Saturday, where he was embraced by members of the local Hispanic community. “Welcome to Oaxacafornia,” said a Oaxacan woman, referring to the impoverished region of Mexico from which many immigrants come.
Sanders began by speaking about Friendship Park on the Mexico-U.S. border in San Diego, calling it “a very sad fence. The fence and the screening is so tight that the only contact a husband and wife and mother and child can have is by sticking their fingers through the screen.” Sanders promised that if he becomes president, “we will end the current, ill-advised deportation politics in this country … The majority of the American people want comprehensive immigration reform.”
A little girl in the audience shouted out, “Bernie?” and he turned to her and said “yes, sweetheart.” He turned and pointed in her direction and told the audience that he wants to see the youth succeed....

Sanders makes no bones about his treasonous intents.
We know our enemies and they are the same color as you and me
They are the mainstream media and the Democrat Party, in either order.
So am I to understand that the families of those deported are then prevented from repatriating themselves? i.e. Do they stop them from crossing back into Mexico so they are not seperated by that cruel, racist fence?
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo in Spanish), officially entitled the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Limits and Settlement between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic,[1] is the peace treaty signed on February 2, 1848, in the Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo (now a neighborhood of Mexico City) between the United States and Mexico that ended the Mexican–American War (1846–48).
With the defeat of its army and the fall of its capital, Mexico entered into negotiations to end the war. The treaty called for the US to pay $15 million to Mexico and to pay off the claims of American citizens against Mexico up to $3.25 million. It gave the United States the Rio Grande as a boundary for Texas, and gave the US ownership of California and a large area comprising roughly half of New Mexico, most of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. Mexicans in those annexed areas had the choice of relocating to within Mexico’s new boundaries or receiving American citizenship with full civil rights. Over 90% chose to become US citizens.
The US Senate ratified the treaty by a vote of 38–14. The opponents of this treaty were led by the Whigs, who had opposed the war and rejected Manifest Destiny in general, and rejected this expansion in particular.[2]
Latino activists hate the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
I first ran across this in 1969 when one of my (illegal alien) high school classmates was ranting against American treachery. I was surprised at his articulateness about the subject because up to that point I didn’t know that he was an intellectual of any sort, albeit of the Aztlan, MEChA, La Raza variety. His older sister, the marijuana smuggler, was the family revolutionary.
Oaxaca used to be considered a prosperous section of Mexico because of its tourist sites. Guess not any longer.
Wow, exactly like it would be if you wanted to make a propaganda video - what are the odds?
” the only contact a husband and wife and mother and child can have is by sticking”
You know... You can always walk back to your side of the fence and give the family YOU ABANDONED a big hug.
It will be interesting if the illegals side with Bernie, while blacks support Hillary.
