6th Democratic Primary Debate: on Immigration

Pete Buttigieg: Fast-track to citizenship for kids in cages at border

Buttigieg: Yes, and they should have a fast track to citizenship because what the United States did was wrong, and we have an obligation to make it right. Look into the eyes of a boy whose father was deported and try to think of something to tell that boy because I couldn't tell him he was going to have his dad back.

Tom Steyer: Trump is only against immigration for non-white people

Tom Steyer: This president is not against immigration. He's against immigration by non-white people. This is his attempt to divide us on race. Since the very first day he started running for president, he's been vilifying non-white people. He's been trying to inflame his base & scare them that if white people lose control of this country, that they're going to lose control of their lives. As somebody who lives in a majority-minority state, which is California, what he's doing is so wrong on so many different levels. I agree with Sen. Sanders. We have to reframe this argument completely. We have to go back to the idea that every American is worth being a full human being on every right. This is a racial argument by a racist president who's trying to divide us and who's vilifying people.
