Senator Bernie Sanders Slams Immigration Bill

Senator Bernie Sanders addressed the US Senate concerning the proposed Immigration Bill. I listened to his remarks on C-Span2. He was critical of the bill and pointed out the damage that has been done to America by the business interests which are pushing for the bill, and the damage that it will cause. He offered an amendment that will prohibit corporations from trying to import foreign labor, while at the same time firing Americans.

I've never heard Senator Sanders speak before. He was eloquent and brave. I hope that all Americans who are concerned about the immigration debacle will have the opportunity to hear or read what he said about this terrible legislation.

Unfortunately, I don't know how you can get a transcript, or hear his speech, perhaps someone here can tell us.

He's also a registered Socialist and resident blind squirrel in the Senate. Looks like he found a nut this time.

Remind me tomorrow and we’ll link to it in the Congressional Record.

Time to give the devil his due. Sanders is right about this bill.

Patriot?

The man is an out and out open socialist and admitted marxist.

On this immigration bill, he is right that its a bad bill, no doubt about that, he isn't an idiot.

But patriot he is not.

I guess he’s a Stalinist (Socialism in one country) as opposed to being a Trotskyite (Internationalist).

Labels have been proven to be misleading. His action today should assure him a fond place in the hearts of true Americans.

Don’t for a second give the Dem’s credit for opposing this bill.. it was their bill from the start.. this is all a strategy to split our side (by now opposing it.. ) I would go so far to bet this was a trap and they predicted that they could get some R’s behind it along with the President, get everyone up in arms, then ‘pull out’ like heroes, leaving the RINOS high and dry..

I’ll try, but you may have to remind me. :) Thanks.

Convert or stopped clock?

I wouldn’t go THAT far! Sheesh -

[Slim Pickens]

Yuck...calling him an American patriot made me throw up in my mouth! As everyone has pointed out, he's a commie. He got this one right, but through backward logic (slamming evil corporations).

Anyway...I have to go brush my teeth...

He was critical of the bill and pointed out the damage that has been done to America by the business interests which are pushing for the bill,

As a card-carrying Socialist, Senator Sanders is automatically against anything that any business might do -- whether it's illegal...or legal.

In this one instance, Bernie's innate socialism aligns him with the side of right -- but this is definitely an object example of the "a busted clock is still right twice a day" rule.

I thought it was the Maoists who were known for staying within their borders, whereas the Soviets were expansionist, at least after WWII.

[chimera]

But he is honest about what he is. He makes no attempt to hide the fact that he is a socialist. That makes him at least more honest than the stealth socialists like Obama, Hillary!, and the rest of the ‘Rats.

You forgot to use a vanutty tag.

Huh? While the Senator is right on this issue, he is wrong on so many others.

Are you sure you aren't a sleeper troll? Just asking, because nobody here would actually use the words "Bernie Sanders American Patriot" in the same phrase without a "is not an" between Sanders and American.

No... it was Bush's bill from the start. By aggreesively advocating amnesty last year, he let the Dems know that he is willing partner in this crime.
