undocument immigrant children and make their voice heard.

Wow, that's really great. I will not deport children, she wants to prioritize who to deport. Asylum is a particular legal process, under our law we have a process. I will stop

Bernie: the proof is in the pudding. talks about Honduras. can't follow typing.

Jorge is very unhappy with Obama re not doing immigration reform. Said he promised. And his deportations, of course. Heard him talking about it in interview. Deeply disappointed in Obama.

HRC supporters were confident that she had crushed him in the previous debate, particularly with the bogus "gaffe" about ghettos and the exchange over the auto bailout.

And hell, I don't know, maybe they were right. Maybe he would've won Michigan by 6 or 7 points otherwise.

her success depends on people being afraid to say anything critical of Obama and she uses this fact to pull one stunt after the other.

the msm is fully involved in pulling with her all those stunts and I don't see where anybody can get their unbiased coverage excluding a couple of online places.

Oh she talks against the Cuban's Castros. I can't stand it anymore. Oh and now the questioners try to trap Sanders on Cuba.
