Bernie Sanders and immigration? It’s complicated

“But in 2007, Sanders was part of the charge from the left to kill an immigration overhaul bill.

“Back then, the Vermont independent warned that the immigration bill — a product from then-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen.

Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on a restrictive immigration amendment. And Sanders backed provisions characterized as poison pills to unravel the bill, while voting to block the final measure in June 2007.”
