While Sanders doesn’t make his personal story a cornerstone of his campaign, he made clear in a rare interview about his immigrant roots that the experience deeply influenced his outlook, even if he now claims New England as his home.
“I spent the first 18 years of my life in Brooklyn, I went to school in Brooklyn, I went to PS 197, went to James Madison High School, spent a year at Brooklyn College, so obviously Brooklyn is an important part of my life,” Sanders said.
Sanders’s parents were both part of the exodus of Jews who left Eastern Europe for the United States. His father, Eli, came from Stopnica, which is in modern-day Poland. Sanders’s mother, Dorothy, was born in New York City to parents who came from Russia and Poland. Immigration documents, which Yahoo News shared with Sanders, showed that his father came to New York in 1921 at the age of 17 onboard a ship called the Lapland. Passenger manifests listed his father as “Eliasz Gitman.” Sanders said that as with many Jewish immigrants, his father’s name was “changed along the way” as he was naturalized.
As a presidential candidate, Sanders has vowed to enact comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and the so-called Dreamers, who were brought to the U.S. as children. Sanders, who has called for decriminalizing illegal immigration (https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2019/07/30/democratic-white-house-hopefuls-spar-over-decriminalizing-illegal-immigration/1874219001/), also pledged to end President Trump’s child-separation policy and called for enacting (https://berniesanders.com/issues/immigration-reform/) a “humane border policy,” including “fundamentally restructuring” the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency.
For Sanders, his family’s history “makes the issue of immigration very personal.”
“I’m the proud son of an immigrant. And I think it is clear that we have got to stop the demonization of immigrants right now. Immigrants to a large degree are the people doing the hard work in this country: doing the agriculture, planting the crops, picking the crops,” he said. “These are the people who are doing some of the most important work in this country and being underpaid in the process of doing it.”
Sanders accused Trump of seeking to “demonize people because they were not born in this country.”
“That clearly is something that I take personally,” he said.

All the commies have talked tough on immigration in the past but it was always a lie, the plan has long been to overwhelm American liberty culture with imported communists and now they don't think they need to lie anymore.
Conquest by immigration.
