During an MSNBC climate change forum on Thursday, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that he believes he “would be positively disposed to” expanding asylum categories to include people who are pushed out of their homes due to climate change.
.... “I think that is absolutely something that we have to look at, and I think I would be positively disposed to that. But it has to exist all over the world. … I mean, it’s not just people in Latin America who would gravitate to the United States. It is people all over the world. And it means that we have to deal with the crises in these countries right now so that people can possibly stay there, and we have to welcome people all over the world.”

The old bastard should have stayed in Moscow.
If “climate change” is global, how can any nation offer asylum?
It’s amazing how the communists lie so blatantly and so many actually believe their tired old shtik.
Basically - open borders.
Uhhhhh, so there’s no climate change in The United States?
Not one person challenged him on this stupid, ignorant comment. That says more about the press and his voters than it does about him.
I’ve heard of American Exceptionalism but this takes it to whole new level. We are even excepted from global warming. U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A!
Wouldn’t Canada be a more logical destination?
All the snowbirds from Canada could qualify as climate refugees then. Only they rent or own the properties they stay in and usually don’t stay permanently and return to Canada when the climate changes once again.
Put them all in coastal Cali.
That's just great, Bernie.
You realize you're extending "climate asylum" to the entire populations of India and China?
They are polluting the environment in their own countries, and you want to bring them here?
Is there no end to the idiocy of the Left?
And people are CHEERING them ?
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ??
I am all for asylum for those who are champions of climate change.
Round them all up and put them in a large asylum, equipped with solar panels, where they can monitor global warming— in Antartica!
Another angle on importing more Democrat voters. No thanks.
Bernie Sanders is one stupid, dishonest bastard.
“Not one person challenged him on this stupid, ignorant comment. That says more about the press and his voters than it does about him.”
That is quote of the day so far. You now have an entry in the Win the Internet for a Day contest.
And just when we thought liberals couldn't get any more crazy ?!?!
What is a climate refugee? Just for the record: I loathe commies.
