        To be charitable to Bernie, he could have been making a narrow point about liminal migrants (guest workers, undocumented individuals) who are more easily underpaid. I’m sure he would finesse it that way if he was confronted with this clip today.

        Doubtful. He has no capacity to realize that immigrants actually raise native wages, or value the humanitarian gains of moving from dangerous, low-productivity countries into stable ones. He’s just a subtle, friendlier face for ultimately Trump-ian viewshttps://www.vox.com/2015/7/29/9048401/bernie-sanders-open-borders …

        Can Bernie criticise the influence of special interest on Congress if he himself is guilty? He seems to be able to identify symptoms, unfortunately his cure is to have government play Robin Hood. Meanwhile he himself appears to be somewhat of a profiteer.

        Context matters. He’s speaking of a specific type of immigration. It’s relevant to categorize motivation: seeking asylum, seeking opportunities to earn a living wage, seeking employment as 'guest workers’ (i.e. workers brought in by companies to lower their own wage costs)

        If I recall, Bernie floated this line in Vox back in July 2015, and I haven't heard it since. The Realignment = Samuel Gompers socialism?

        Unfortunately nearly all the progressives who complain about poverty in America want to depress wages and increase unemployment by importing vast numbers of poor people.

        The actual economics do not support this. Borjas has been debunked so many times. Bernie only displayed his weak economics in that clip. He now realizes how unpopular this view is and now avoids repeating it.

        This sort of argument has become so unpopular even among Bernie's crowd that even he avoids repeating it. He lied about his motivation for voting down the 07 bill because of this. A change we should all celeberate...unless one is a crypto-fascist.
