Bernie Sanders' campaign statement on Clinton's immigration comments

"Bernie Sanders’ National Latino Outreach Director Arturo Carmona on Friday issued the following statement on Secretary Hillary Clinton’s comments on unaccompanied minors at last night’s Democratic debate:

“Secretary Clinton is wrong. We should never put children back into harm’s way to ‘send a message’ to anyone. That’s why Sen. Sanders has put forward a serious immigration plan that focuses on protecting kids and keeping families together. It is time for Secretary Clinton to do the same.

“Sen. Sanders believes we must end inhumane deportations and strongly opposes the summary expulsion of Central American immigrant children. He will expand access to health care for aspiring Americans and will strengthen the rights of immigrant workers. He’s the best choice for Democrats who believe our immigration policies must put families first.”

because she's learned that's how people respond most favorably to your needs.

MAKE HER GO AWAY

Was all about appearances and for political reasons only.

I have come to around to thinking she truly believes the horrific things she says and votes for. Sending message using kids is as bad as it gets folks.

She does not care about people. She says she does, but her voting record and actions as SOS belie her pretty words.
