Comparing Sanders and O'Malley's Immigration Plans

[askew]

We now have 2 candidates who have released detailed Immigration plans. I thought it would be interesting to compare them to each other. While this is not the sum of either candidate's positions on Immigration, it is interesting to see what each candidate included in their plan. And while I am an O'Malley supporter, Sanders remains my 2nd choice and I think both plans are excellent and worthy of discussion.
Please Note: As Hillary hasn't released her plan yet, I am not including her in my comparison. Yes, I know she's made statements, but it isn't a full plan. I'll wait until she releases the plan for that comparison.

1. Thanks

Good job, now if people will only read it.

2. There really seems to be less interest in the media and blogs on policy this time around.

Pretty disappointing.

I wonder if it is a side-effect of no debates?

But, I was surprised at the dramatic differences between the two candidates' immigration plans. Their criminal justice reform plans were much more similar.

5. Well. Trump did say people aren't concerned ...

with policy; and, they seem to be proving him correct, as so many "agree" with his policy stances, despite his not presenting any policy.

6. Good point.

Trump has no policy plans at all, yet his numbers are above all the others. I thick a lot of people want change of some kind, so they simply listen to the person who tells them what the want to hear, and ignore the persons with actual policy plans. Some people just don't care about facts and reality, they live in their own little world, Trump has proved that.

7. Jamie Weinstein of the Daily Caller wrote some chilling words about Trump ...

or rather his followers.

3. Trade policies are at the root of the immigration

Problem. If that isn't addressed, you will always have a problem.

ie. After NAFTA came into force, more than 1.3 million Mexican farmers were driven out of business. US agribusinesss, subsidized by our tax dollars, sold corn in Mexico at lower prices than farmers in that country could produce. As a result, undocumented immigration from Mexico has risen from 332,000 since 1993 to 530,000 in 2000--a 60 percent increase since the passage of NAFTA.
