Sen. Bernie Sanders, i-ut., Said he approves President Donald Trump’s Handling of fentanyl and border protection.
“I mean, I think it breaks down on Fentanyl, making our limits stronger,” Sanders told Jonathan Karl of ABC during a pre-plated segment that was broadcast on Sunday this week. “
“Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate,” said Sanders. “And I happen to think that we need an extensive reform of immigration, but I don’t think it is appropriate that people will come across the border illegally. So we now have to work on comprehensive reform of immigration.”
Sanders’ attitude seems to be a deviation from his 2020 Presidential Campaign Platform, Where he supported the “disintegration” of American immigration and customs enforcement and American customs and border protection and the deportation of an audit. He also supported the stopping of the border wall, the termination of the policy “staying in Mexico”, decriminalizing illegal immigration by making a civil violation of it and ending earlier limits of federal financing for sanctuary.

‘Because I have news for you: Trump’s billionaire friends go the washed in California That feeds us, “said Sanders.” They are not going to work in houses with meat packaging. That is what people do without papers. So we need different programs, programs for guest workers, but usually extensive reform of immigration. “
