Bernie Backs Free Government Health Care and Public College for Illegal Immigrants

‘I hope that as soon as possible the undocumented will not be undocumented’

College and health care will be free for illegal immigrants if Bernie Sanders becomes president, the candidate said at a recent campaign event in Las Vegas.

“Let me also say something of which I have gotten into trouble and people will criticize me for: I am, as some of you know, supportive of a Medicare-for-all single-payer system. And that means that everybody in the country has health care, including the undocumented,” Sanders said. 

Sanders predicted his far-left position would be used against him.

“Mark my words, you’ll see 30-second ads attacking me for that,” he said. “And then you’ll see another set of 30-second ads because when I say I want to make public colleges and universities tuition-free, that also includes the undocumented. Now, I hope that as soon as possible the undocumented will not be undocumented. That’s the goal."

Sanders’ comments came at El Chisme 2020, where Democratic candidates appeared to discuss “Latinx issues.”
