What are Bernie’s views on securing the border? Bernie sees the importance of securing the border, but is opposed to building a fence to do so, and has voted repeatedly against legislation that would build such a barrier. Bernie has supported legislation which would have increased border patrol operations while simultaneously providing a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants. Bernie does not support an “open borders policy,” preferring to focus on a path to citizenship for immigrants already in the United States.

But shouldn’t we be securing our border? The idea that we have hoards of undocumented immigrants pouring across the border is a myth propagated by racist, right-wing media and political actors.

Holy shit, you can't even make this stuff up. Bernie is a joke on the border and also wants amnesty

What part of this do you not understand? Building a fence is simply ineffective, and will be a great cost for little benefit. After all, if we have a larger border patrol that will mean more jobs, right?
