Bernie Sanders : A Strong, Democratic Standpoint?

Bernie Sanders strives to bring more peace to the world. He believes it’s our moral responsibility to reach out to Syrian refugees as stated in the 2015 CBS Democratic primary debate on Syrian Refugees.”

John Nicholas interviewed Bernie Sanders for the Nation, a journal on politics, about his views on a few issues being addressed by the candidates (12-6). During the civil-rights movement, Sanders was a supporter of Martin Luther King Jr’s vision. A non-white person has the right to freedom, like any other person. To this present day, inequality and discrimination are a real issue. Police brutality against African-Americans is not new in this country. However, his main concern is that people know about inequality toward blacks, but does not know that the unemployment rate for the African-American youth is at fifty percent. (Nicholas 14) A percentage that high on unemployment rate is an economic problem for the country. Racism continues to exist in America. Racial equality is a vital issue to

My candidate, Bernie Sanders wants to give immigrants a voice and help them stay in the U.S. Sanders states,” We have eleven million people in this country who are undocumented-who came here to improve their lives, to escape oppression, to flee desperate poverty and violence-and are systematically shut out from that same opportunity.” Bernie Sanders is a son of an immigrant because his father came to this country with not even a penny in his pocket. So he understands why it is important to help those who are illegal here because it’s not fair that they want the same thing as we do, a better life, but can’t have just because they weren’t born here. Nevertheless, Bernie wants what everybody wants, a happy immigrant country.

“The only real solution to reform our immigration system is to pass comprehensive immigration reform that provides a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants. President Trump’s plans are based on alternative facts and do nothing to keep us safe or fix our immigration system in a humane, pragmatic and effective way,” Schumer said in a statement.

“More than any other nation on Earth, America has constantly drawn strength and spirit from wave after wave of immigrants. In each generation, they have proved to be the most restless, the most adventurous, the most innovative, the most industrious of people. Bearing different memories, honoring different heritages, they have strengthened our economy, enriched our culture, renewed our promise of freedom and opportunity for all….”(Bill Clinton).The issue of immigration today is that the immigration system is broken and in need of an overhaul. Although the U.S. and Mexico board are now more secure than ever, decades of ever-increasing border and interior enforcement have worsened the out of date immigration laws. An Immigration reform would

Senator Sanders plans to give each citizens access to universal healthcare so no citizen will be denied health and medicine. Throughout his political career he voted yes and no on bills going through Senate and he voted each time on bills that expanded healthcare or made it more affordable. He plans on taxing the rich at higher rates, same taxes from resolving the income inequality, and set forth a system of taxing through the stock system that will create billions over the course of a year (). These new taxes would benefit the middle and lower class because they would finally be able to receive healthcare that many of the poor have had to previously live without. New taxes sound like a bad thing, but in Bernie’s plans it would only affect corporations and the top 10%. These new taxes wouldn’t affect the average taxpayer in anyway resulting in more money out of your paychecks, but would affect them by giving them and every citizen free healthcare despite any poor financial

Are President-elect Donald Trump's immigration policies realistic or have they been based on fallacious ideas? His notorious election as President of the United States has caused extensive controversies and divide amongst Americans. It is fundamental for everyone to acknowledge the ludicrous reasoning behind his immigration policies, as well as the possible deleterious effect they could have on America's society and its economy.

Bernie Sanders, who is a Vermont senator and democratic presidential candidate, recently criticized Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a republican presidential candidate. Sanders says that he disagrees with Trump's views on immigration. He also stated that Trump is an embarrassment to our country.

Today there are over eleven million undocumented immigrants in America. While most of these immigrants have jobs, they are paid “under the table” which keeps them from having to pay taxes. The employers hiring these illegal immigrants are hurting America’s economy rather than helping it. An immigration reform package that provides a way for these immigrants to earn legalization will greatly

The first issue Bernie Sanders has discussed about is regarding education. Sanders’s position on education is that all public colleges and universities should be free for anyone who wants to pursue a higher education without worrying about tuition costs. Education needs to be improved in public schools nationwide as well. Additional teachers and faculty must be appointed to benefit student learning. In his website ran by volunteers’ it states, “Bernie Sanders believes that all students deserve the opportunity to receive an affordable, quality education from the earliest stages of schooling to high-level degrees” (FeelTheBern, par.1). The main reason why I am supporting Bernie Sanders and his position on free education is because he supports DREAMers and the DREAM Act. Sanders “strongly supports the DREAM Act and is enthusiastic about the possibility of providing a pathway to legal status for talented, hard-working young people” (FeelTheBern, sec. 8). Having a president who can possibly permit illegal students to obtain legal status would benefit many students and open countless doors of opportunities for us. Many citizens ask themselves where this money for free college will be coming from and Bernie has just the solution. In order to provide for free tuition, Wall Street’s tax

Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was born September 8, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York. Additionally, he is the son of Polish Jewish immigrants who fled their country to escape the troubles of World War II (“Bernie Sanders”). Therefore, Sanders has very liberal ideals when it comes to politics and the issues he addresses mainly revolve around equality. For instance, Sanders has been ceaselessly working to implement more rights for women, lgbt members, and various minority groups. As a result, Sander’s campaign has been extremely popular not only amongst minorities, but also the youth of America.

“(Sanders). He acknowledges the most pressing issues and recognizes that these issues are the ones that demand our attention now. Sanders is prepared to stand for and with us as we try to decrease the inequality gap and confront the issues of immigration, gun control, and health care.

Bernie Sanders has a reasonable, and simple approach to solving the issue of immigration. Sanders has a large variety of solutions, that aren’t unreasonable. He wants to make it easier to get citizenship, and attain a visa. Also, create more fair trade policies. Finally, by making it easier for families to get into the country all together, and be less discriminated against. These ideas should work, and be fair. However, there are some opposing views.

Comprehensive immigration reform thus falls under promoting equality. Since undocumented people are denied certain jobs then America is not proving equality of opportunity. In our textbook it also states that every year thousands of undocumented people are deported due to factory investigations. We also discussed in class the idea of children who were brought to the United States at a young age not being penalized. They had no consent of being brought here so why should they be punished. I believe that America does not solely include United States “Americans” because these were Native Americans. Therefore other cultures should be allowed and integrated in the United

Raising the federal minimum wage and decreasing in low-wage immigrant labor are on his agenda. He stood with Obama’s action of protecting many illegal immigrants from being deported, but Sanders believes that the low-wage immigrant labor is causing unemployment among the youth. However, getting rid of low-wage immigrant labor may put many others out of work. The best solution would be to create more jobs and get more people employed like Obama has been doing and it will make the economy would be more stable to avoid the unemployment rates during 2008.
