(17,387 posts)2. So, That is Why He Is Sounding The Alarm About Asian and Latino immigrants?
Remember when Donald Trump said he wants fewer immigrants from shithole countries and more from places like Norway? I guess Bernie can say the same thing, but using "progressive" sounding language:

Are people really taking Bernie Sanders to task about what he told Trevor Noah last week during The Daily Shows Between the Scenes digital segment?
As Sanders stated (bold and italics are our own emphasis):
Nobody, I mean not many people believe in open borders. If you simply opened the borders, youd have people from Vietnam and China and Mexico and Latin America coming in. And no one thinks that is a plausible approach. On the other hand, I think the strength of this nation is the diversity and the new ideas from immigrants from all walks of life have given this country. So you need a rational, non-racist immigration policy which welcomes people in from all over the world to improve our economy, but clearly you cannot have open borders.
Ironically enough, Sanders stance against a rational, non-racist immigration policy gets a bit lost when he also thinks that its a bad idea to have people from Vietnam and China and Mexico and Latin America coming in.
