Sanders: Trump’s Using ‘Racist’ Immigration Policies Based on ‘Anti-Muslim Ideology’ to ‘Divide Us Up’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TODD: "Let me start on the travel ban and immigration in general and let me ask the question to you this way, do you think the crept procedures that we have to vet refugees and to vet folks coming into this country, do you think it needs to be improved? Do you think it is a safety risk right now?"
SANDERS: "Well, I think the vetting mechanisms are very, very strong. If there say way to make them stronger, let’s go forward. I don’t think there is any debate that we want to keep the United States safe and we want to be 100% clear that anybody who comes into this country should not be coming into this country to do us harm, but what you just heard Mr. Miller say is a shell game. While there is a whole lot of discussion about the racist, in my view, immigration policies of the Trump Administration which are based on anti-muslim ideology, which are doing us enormous harm all over the world, something elgoing on at the exact same moment is that President Trump is backtracking on every economic promise that he made to the American people when he told workers and senior citizens he was not going to cut social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. So what’s going on right now? We’re talking a whole lot of immigration, he is appointing Wall Street bankers, the same people he told us he would oppose to very high positions, Gary Cohn has gotten $250 million severance package from Goldman Sachs. He’s now the main financial adviser. We’re talking a whole lot about dividing the American people up. We’re supposed to hate muslims and we’re supposed to hate Latinos."
