As the Democratic Party tacks increasingly left on immigration, some key figures are moving to reset the rhetoric in their own ranks -- with Sen. Bernie Sanders taking a stand against “open borders” policies and former President Barack Obama highlighting the importance of immigrants assimilating into their host nation’s culture.

"I worry sometimes when, as we think about how to deal with the immigration issue, we think that any moves towards assimilation of the existing newcomers to the existing culture is somehow a betrayal or a denial of people’s heritage or what have you,” Obama said at a town hall event in Berlin on Saturday, before arguing that "if you’re going to have a coherent, cohesive society then everybody has to have some agreed upon rules, and there’s gonna have to be some accommodations that everybody makes, and that includes the people who are newcomers."

Obama also defended the importance of immigrants learning their host nation's language.

Sure, assimilate into good, left voting, little comrades. As eight years of an Obama Presidency shows, there'll be no effort to change their illegal status, leaving sanctuary cities as the Democrat's hook. Reel them in every election.

......illegals don’t want to assimilate period. What Odungo says and what he wants are two different things.

[Blue Turtle]

Yes, because illegals want to assimilate into the American way of life, respecting our culture and our flag.

[Mr. K]

Sure, it’s election time.
“Forget everything we’ve said in the past two years... Listen to what we are saying now, when we want to be re-elected”

He is just doing his normal bob and weave to fool the imbecilic public.

They can see 2020 from their porches.

[SMARTY]

Bait and switch!

[Clutch Martin]

My high school government teacher taught us that America is a melting pot and Canada is a mosaic.

That was 50 years ago.

Then it morphed into the 2nd generation of immigrants became the assimilation point.

Times change. We are now a mosaic too. Assimilation is a myth.

[McGruff]

You've had your turn. This is the future of the Demorat party.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

It’s only that some dim rats finally understand that they can’t sell out our country without first selling THEMSELVES out.

[ExTxMarine]

Yes, because illegals want to assimilate into the American way of life, respecting our culture and our flag AND OUR LAWS.

There, I added to your commentary!

[BobL]

Some BAD VIBES coming in from their polling...

[Old Yeller]

Obama doesn’t want attention on the border, because he wants the invasion of muzzie fighters and reproducers to be low key.

[LouAvul]

Roget’s Thesaurus: Hypocrisy = democrat

[VTenigma]

Horsehockey, Faux=fake news. Commie covering operation in progress. Someone was just slapped upside the head with the polls.

[Jumper]

Trump has Obama and Bernie both rejecting the Open Borders, Illegal, Drug Party LABEL. Trump is living in the DNCs collective head’s rent free and it is taking up valuable time in the public sphere. Rather than advance more rainbow initiatives, or race baiting soundbites they are now on the De(fence). Just like Humpty Dumpty, they are set to fall.

[Brilliant]

Rhetoric isn’t enough. They need to pass the wall.

[Zathras]

Polling is showing they are loosing big time and they need to lie to the American Voters again for damage control.

[Retvet]

Problem is these invaders are not assimilating. That is why Democrats are supporting multiculturalism.
