I'm not actually worried about policies this old fart would enact as president since he has zero chance of winning anyway, but this is the kind of position we all need to be concerned about regarding Dimocrats.

Bernie Sanders Blasts Deportation Raids in Impassioned Letter to Obama
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) penned a forceful letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday assailing the Department of Homeland Security's large-scale deportation raids targeting Central American immigrants, writing that the raids would condemn many migrants to a "death sentence" and calling on Obama to exercise his executive authority to protect vulnerable migrants.
The raids: Sanders' letter comes two weeks after the Washington Postreported that DHS was planning to conduct the nationwide raids, focusing on the wave of Central American migrants, many of them unaccompanied minors, who flocked to the United States in 2014 amid widespread gang violence in their home countries.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced this week that authorities with the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency had rounded up 121 migrants in Georgia, Texas and North Carolina over the weekend. The Post reported that the migrants were being detained in federal facilities ahead of deportation to their countries of origin.
More raids are likely to follow. When announcing the raids on Monday, Johnson warned, "As I have said repeatedly, our borders are not open to illegal migration. If you come here illegally, we will send you back consistent with our laws and values."
