Bernie, turn the "what we need" into action! It's high time. And stop blaming Trump. Here's the show's transcript...

MARGARET BRENNAN: So I want to also ask you though because we have what the president is calling a crisis at the border. He’s threatening to shut down portions of it this week. He has given the order to cut off aid to Central American countries. Do you think this helps? Do you think this hurts? And can Congress stop this cut off in aid?

SEN. SANDERS: Well we’re going to do everything we can to stop it. It’s totally absurd. Look, you have–

MARGARET BRENNAN: How can you stop–

SEN. SANDERS: –a terrible–

MARGARET BRENNAN: The State Department says–

SEN. SANDERS: Well you just–

MARGARET BRENNAN: –they’re already trying to enact the cuts.

SEN. SANDERS: Well you can stop it by overriding what he is doing and making sure that we fund these programs. Look here is the story. You have a terrible humanitarian crisis. You have women and children traveling a thousand miles or more, often by foot, in order to escape the violence and poverty in their countries. So what we need to do of course is A, comprehensive immigration reform but B, we need to make sure that our borders are secure but also we need a humane policy at the border in which we are not yanking tiny children–

MARGARET BRENNAN: So would you keep–

SEN. SANDERS: –from the arms of their mothers.

MARGARET BRENNAN: –these children in detention?

SEN. SANDERS: That’s not what America is about.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Or–

SEN. SANDERS: Pardon me?

MARGARET BRENNAN: Would you keep these children in detention longer or deport them faster? What would you do?

SEN. SANDERS: You need a humane policy. These are- you know when you- when you lock up children, when you separate children from their mothers. This is a traumatic situation which these children, many of them will never recover from. You need a humane humanitarian policy at the border.

Notice how Bernie is advocates the rights of illegal aliens over citizens. How you could vote for this PoS is beyond comprehension. Unless you're a Communist, of course.

I thank you and beseech you to keep it real.
