Using the comedy central? Let me ask you this. An issue in and around immigration is a tough one, because I found that in America people like to make it seem like. Either one or the other. All the immigrants come in no borders or shut it all down. No immigrants in the country kill. You need a little bit of both absolutely right. There is nobody. Just drop you to try, but you're talking to the son of an immigrant, writes a man who came to this country from Poland to the age of seventeen without a nickel in his pocket. So I am sensitive to the issue. I can imagine that you- and you have said this on the campaign- trail. Here's the thing some economists argue they say there has been a correlation between immigrants coming in to America and the lowering of wages, because when people come in and take jobs that followed lower skilled individuals, inevitably the
numbers, the numbers are gonna drop because people can pay, somebody else less to do it and they ve show. Now now that immigration has gone down, wages are starting to go up now. You actually think it wasn't. Twenty fifteen o, whenever you you spoke to this in Vermont, and you said yes, we need to look at that. That is an issue we countries have people coming Enron and replacing the jobs. So so, where do you stand on this and we need to find a balance, but that that is the question? Nobody we're loose, not many people believe in open borders. Right is simply open the borders of people from Vietnam and in China and bricks and let the coming and rights, and no one thinks that that is a plausible approach. On the other hand, I think the strength of this nation is in fact
the diversity and the new ideas that immigrants from all walks of life have given this country. So you need a rational, non racist immigration policy which welcomes people in from all over the world to improve our economy, but clearly you cannot have open borders like we ve got someone over there. Yes, MA am you plan to go when you campaigning to go into urban areas. People like funk play me and black churches are in a black school, so
Why do we still have a very diverse? Can not what do you want with it all? I must thank you for the great question and the answer is yes. Yes, look. This is a promise, absolutely my cabinet Look like America and as this campaigns progresses- and we already done it- you will see me- we ve already been two historically black colleges and universities in South Carolina. Are we going to be the urban areas all over this country absolutely positively? The medium Let me ask you a question, or just just awful, that of as a follow up. You know you use.
Out of the race in one place, and we saw you have your journeys. You know grappling with combat. Haitians in and around race, what do you think of the biggest thing you as Bernie Sanders and learned I'll take? What's a very profound question and here's what I did learn
the issues that I fight for, say Medicare for all right, we'll probably help African Americans lucky knows more than most why people issues like making public colleges and universities help minorities more than most, why people? But you know what I miss in the whole discussion- that it's not just health capital. I talk to a young black woman the other day, and she said you know my mother hesitate to go to the doktor because you nuts, and think that that white doktor is going to treat with the respect that she deserves. Ok or you talk about health disparities. Are you talking about red lining in districts today? Right, ok, where.
I am a black business to a guy. I'm walk, you're, successful, small business, a burning I can't get along a black. I cannot get alone. You talk about education, young african Americans are leaving school more deeply in debt than white, so I think I will do a better job this time and in an unjust ending and talking about those type. A vicious issues specifically affect let people right without Temple, one with alone is I'll. Take it from this alyosha. A patent. Will getting stuff example of somebody has a credit card and all the sudden name is the payment you talking like twenty five thirty percent interest in this together How do you get a now for the next three years to pay everything on time, but that rate never comes back down. You know what that is a great question and you
we're gonna reintroduce this: what you're talking about Islam shocking? That's what you're talking about and the way it works is the many of these large. I didn't notice, but many large department stores, for example, make more. Off of their credit card interest on their credit cards then do selling their merchandise are. So we all right now if you are a member of a credit union? If my memory is correct, they cannot trojan more than fifteen percent interest rates, which seems to be ready to be pretty high and that's what I want for this entire country. It is outrageous when interest rates are so low that there are people paint twenty five, thirty percent in because they miss the point.
On interest in their credit cards and that's it usually we will definitely do you think I don't let you go out. You don't want wanting. We'll just want to ask you one question, because you: u yours on the reason you doing a thing you bump your head and then you like put a bandages carried on the right.
