Presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), vying for the Democratic Party nomination, offers his immigration plan, which he calls “A Welcoming and Safe America for All.” Sanders lays out his “Key Points” for his proposed policy on his website:
Institute a moratorium on deportations until a thorough audit of past practices and policies is complete.
Reinstate and expand DACA and develop a humane policy for those seeking asylum.
Completely reshape and reform our immigration enforcement system, including breaking up ICE and CBP and redistributing their functions to their proper authorities.
Dismantle cruel and inhumane deportation programs and detention centers and reunite families who have been separated.
Live up to our ideals as a nation and welcome refugees and those seeking asylum, including those displaced by climate change.
