This is the same bullshit that Republicans have pushed and I for one don't want to support a guy who wants to depress people who will come after me.

I appreciate that if elected he would be continuing DACA and that's why I would still rather have him than any Republican but when he thinks that new immigrants hurt American workers, that shows where his heart really is. How can you not see that? Do you think that in his mind he's just talking about "those other immigrants"? It's as if I say "black people drive up crime and we don't want them in our neighborhood, but hey, you black people who are already here are cool and I support your right to be here".

To your points:
1. Great! He finally evolved in 2010 and atoned for the mistakes of his youth except that 2007 was just 3 years earlier and 3 years of our lives apparently didn't mean anything to him.
2. Well yes, of course he supports Obama's plans, he's running for president. Actions speak louder than words. His action when it counted in 2007 was to say no.
3. Again, great! But that doesn't change 2007 and he and people like you STILL defend it. Has he apologized for it? Of course not.

Say what you want about Obama's first term, but he is the only president in History to mention us in the state of the union speech and sign those executive actions. He ran on Obamacare primarily and immigration was secondary. He bit more than he could chew but at least when it's come up to the plate he has always voted for immigration reform.

I just don't get this love affair with Bernie here. He's done nothing for us and yet people just post stuff about him - in the news section even.
