Anti-immigrant screed??? What are you talking about? Is there any part of what Bernie said that could be construed as opposition to *immigrants?* No. He's criticizing the program for being exploitative and degrading to foreign workers.

This is like someone if someone criticized Medicaid for being woefully inadequate, and you being like, "oh my god, you hate sick people!"

If that's what it means to care more about my countrymen than complete strangers that I owe nothing to, then sure.

Are you assigning one's moral character to their citizenship status? WTF?

No, I'm saying that an American politician owes nothing to outsiders, but only to citizens. We are the only ones who should matter or be an elected official's primary concern.

He's not “anti-immigrant”, stupid, he's “Pro-America”, as he should be, considering that he's an American elected official, not senator of the immigration lobby and third world.

1000% agree. Daniel's comment isn't great, but that reply is not helping anything. 🥴
