Sanders details ‘Family First’ plan for immigration reform

Walsh, a former union member, forcefully endorsed Clinton on Sunday, casting her as the most qualified candidate for the job.

Looking ahead, Sanders’ plan for the future flow of immigrants is focused on keeping families together, protecting women from discrimination, strengthening and expanding support for refugees, ending the economic exploitation of immigrant workers and reducing health care costs. On Friday, he took questions in front of a bipartisan group of black civic and business leaders gathered in SC, where he’s also airing a radio ad in which he bemoans “institutional racism”, calls for ending racial profiling and mass incarceration, and highlights his work in the civil rights movement as a college student. The candidate has promised to spend money on rebuilding the country’s bridges, roads and tunnels and focusing the spending on clean energy in many of her events across the country over the last few months.

“We started this campaign at something like 3 percent in the polls, and I think it’s fair to say that in Georgia or SC, 70, 80, 90 percent of the people didn’t even know who Bernie Sanders was, let alone what he stands for”, Sanders said.

Under his plan, he said he would expand Obama’s executive actions – the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) programs.

Clinton’s campaign coffers also are swamping her opponents. Over the course of her career, from her 2000 run for the Senate to the two presidential campaigns, people working in the finance, insurance and real estate industries have given her campaigns about $35 million – more than donors from any other lines of work, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

And he would seek to push back against the “militarization” of the U.S. Southern border and devote resources toward reducing border deaths and making U.S. Customs and Border protection more accountable, his campaign said.

Since the immigration reform bill was killed, in 2013, the party that killed it – the Republicans – has dragged the immigration debate to grotesque depths that go well beyond the usual nativist bigotry. “She’s going to win”.

The result is a political tightrope for a 74-year-old senator who has assembled a national following as a self-styled “democratic socialist” calling for a “political revolution” that wrests control of the USA government from “the billionaire class” comprising the nation’s wealthiest individuals and corporations.

“Her husband’s administration did great things for the country, but those days are over”, Brown added. This plan would be paid for by closing loopholes now allowing large corporations to stash their profits in offshore tax havens like the Cayman Islands to avoid paying income taxes.
