Hello. I'd like to discuss the candidacies of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders
from an objective point of view, free from kneejerk opposition or support for
either. I believe there has been a lot of false rhetoric thrown around by both
sides of the divide between them and it would be nice to clear some of it up,
especially as primary results continue to paint a clearer picture of November.
The first thing to consider is that the American people have made their
voices heard in the recent primaries, and it is clear that the outstanding
majority do not want to see an establishment candidate from the DNC or GOP
in the White House this year. Both Sanders and Trump are political outsiders,
with a paramount interest in keeping Hillary Clinton out of office.
IMMIGRATION
As you surely know, this is the issue that Trump has caught the greatest
amount of criticism over. His extremely strong stance on immigration
includes hiring 3 times the current amount of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) agents assigned to the border, the erection of 1000 miles
of border wall with Mexico, establishing a database of foreign refugees in the
United States, a no-tolerance policy for amnesty, and deporting all illegal
Sanders Pros/Cons
+ Solid PR for the United States
+ All options remain on the table for negotiation with Mexico
- No clear plan to deal with drug trade
- Keeping factories in Mexico empowers the corporate corruption Bernie
stands against
