Bernie Sanders in Meet the Press interviews during 2017


On Immigration: Refugee vetting mechanisms we have now are very, very strong

Q: Do you think the current procedures that we have to vet refugees coming into this country, do you think it needs to be improved?

SANDERS: The vetting mechanisms we have now are very, very strong. If anybody has an idea as to how we can make them stronger, let's go forward. I don't think there's any debate whether you're progressive, conservative or anybody else 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. Where there's 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 else is going on at the exact same moment.
