Democratic candidates split over decriminalizing illegal crossings and open borders
2020 Democrats split over decriminalizing illegal border crossings as moderate Tim Ryan mocks ultra-liberals saying: 'If you want to come into this country, you need to at least ring the doorbell!'
Democratic presidential candidates openly broke with one another at the second presidential debate over decriminalizing illegal border crossings, effectively instituting the kind of open border policy Donald Trump has warned about.
Senator Bernie Sanders, one of the far-left Democrats on stage on Tuesday night, asserted inside a CNN arena in Detroit: 'In my view, they are not criminals.'
However, his closest competitor, Elizabeth Warren, told contenders 'what you're saying is ignore the law,' which she said the nation cannot do while promising to get rid of the law that makes it a crime.
It set off a debate among the ten Democrats on stage as to whether the country should allow anyone who makes the trek to the United States, regardless of whether they have a legitimate asylum claim, should be allowed to migrate to the wealthy nation.
Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan, a moderate candidate for president, insisted that the policy must remain in place.
'Right now if you want to come into this country, you need to at least ring the door bell,' he said. 'You don't decriminalize people just walking into the United States.'
Trump has hinged his reelection campaign on the argument that Democrats are for 'open borders' and would allow criminal immigrants to run rampant
'First hour of debates: No more private insurance. Big government socialism. Open borders,' he said.
