It’s amazing that we’ve come to the point where Democrats running for president are competing over who will do more for non-citizens, but that’s where we are.
While speaking on the campaign trail this weekend, Bernie Sanders made it crystal clear that as president, his Medicare-for-all plan, and his plans for free college would include the undocumented (illegal immigrants).

During the same talk, he said he would impose a moratorium on deportations.
Breitbart reports:
Bernie Sanders: ‘We Are Going to Impose a Moratorium on Deportations’
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told a group that he backs a moratorium on all deportations from the U.S., a video surfaced on Saturday revealed.
The socialist senator told a group that, under a Sanders administration, the U.S. would cease ICE raids and deportations.
“We’re gonna end the ICE raids which are terrorizing communities all across this country,” Sanders said.
“We are gonna impose a moratorium on deportations,” he continued. “There are some things that a president can do with executive orders.”

NEW: During an event with Mijente Latinx leaders and organizers, Senator @BernieSanders was asked if he would call for a moratorium on deportations. Sanders said yes. A senior policy advisor on the campaign confirms to me this is new.

Someone needs to ask Bernie if he is running for president of the United States or some other country.
