Just a minute, here --

I have recently seen claims that Bernie and Berniecrats were "like Trump supporters" in being anti-immigrant. Here is an example, linked to a very contentious thread below.

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/03/22/bernies-russia-problem/

Can anyone give a single example of an anti-immigrant position by Bernie? Something explicit, not just "he ran against Hillary, so he must have ...." And since there are no examples, could we just send this allegation off to "fake news" land?

a dispute between partisans of opposite sides. The "English only" lie has been debunked as noted. Not "anti-immigrant."
