Activists praise Sanders, criticize Clinton on immigration
Immigration activists praised Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and criticized Hillary Clinton, after both visited Iowa on Sunday.
A group of "Dreamers," people who illegally immigrated to the United States as children, praised Sanders for criticizing President Obama's decision to put off executive action delaying more deportations.
Clinton, in contrast, refused to criticize the decision, when the activists confronted her on the rope line of an event in Des Moines.
“Unlike Hillary Clinton, Senator Sanders showed he understood the urgency to keep families together, though was still sensitive to the political complexity," Monica Reyes, one of the activists, said in a statement contrasting their comments.
