During Wednesday night\u2019s Democratic debate ahead of next week\u2019s Florida primary, both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton had some things to say about immigration.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with Sen. Sanders. Back in 2013, when the Gang of Eight comprehensive amnesty and guest worker bill was before the Senate, Sanders expressed grave concerns about the impact of the expanded guest worker provisions of that legislation on American workers. In an interview in the Washington Post<\/a>, Sanders said, \u201cMy concerns are in regards to where we stand in terms of guest workers programs\u2026What I do not support is, under the guise of immigrant reform, a process pushed by large corporations which results in more unemployment and lower wages for American workers.\u201d<\/p>\n
