Swing Voter Asks Sanders Why Hes Recently Changed Opinions On Open Borders…Sanders Response

During a town hall event in Derry, New Hampshire, a swing voter asked Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) why he now supports unchecked immigration rather than holding true to his former position that such a policy is an effort to suppress Americans’ wages by the donor class.

In front of a packed audience, the swing voter, a poverty-stricken white female, said she admired Sanders’ authenticity but could not understand why he has dropped his opposition to mass, unchecked low-wage immigration — which he has consistently admitted, until this election cycle, drives down wages for American workers.

The swing voter asked Sanders:

SWING VOTER: Hi Mr. Sanders, my name is Christine and I’m here because you seem like one of the most authentic candidates running right now. So I wanted to hear what you had to say and how authentic you really are. And by the way, nobody believes for a minute that you told Elizabeth Warren can’t make it for president. [Emphasis added]

So you’ve been very consistent and authentic and since I’ve been 18, I voted … in every presidential election, I voted half Republican and half I voted Democrat. So I am very interested in what you’re doing for the poor. That’s what I want to know.

So one issue that you have not been consistent is open borders. When you first ran, you said it was a Koch brothers scheme and seemed to recognize that low wage workers being dumped into the country does not help low wage workers. [Emphasis added]

My family is at 134 percent of the poverty level. So I worked at a restaurant this summer and the dishwashers were starting at $14 an hour, teenagers. Can you please explain why you changed on that issue. Did you have to change because donors seem to want the low wage workers. [Emphasis added]

Sanders responded by ignoring the wage impact of mass illegal and legal immigration, instead reiterating his support for amnesty for all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens — forcing America’s working and middle class to compete against a newly legalized foreign population for U.S. jobs.

Sanders also took the same position as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, claiming that cheap foreign workers are necessary to keep food prices low for American consumers:

BERNIE SANDERS: No, no, no. First thought, what I believe in, absolutely, I don’t believe in open borders if open borders mean anybody can come from any place in the world. There’s no country in the history of the world, I think, that has ever had that view. But my view is that we have 11 million undocumented here, many of those workers are being exploited right now.
