The candidates are being asked about immigration. Here's where they stand on the issue:
Former Vice President Joe Biden has said the nation’s immigration system is broken but can be fixed without sacrificing America’s values.He supports providing healthcare and creating a pathway to citizenship for all who are in the country illegally and increasing the annual cap on refugees allowed into the United States to 125,000. He proposes allowing local governments to petition for new immigration visas to support economic growth if there are not enough local workers to fill jobs.
The former McKinsey & Co. consultant at times takes a research-based approach when asked about details. He supports extending barriers at the border if experts recommend doing so; he doesn’t support abolishing ICE but wants to do a comprehensive review to determine how it should be restructured.Salvadorans Maria José Quesada, 12, left, and mother Claudia Veronica Quesada Rodriguez wait near the borderin Matamoros, Mexico, for their first asylum court hearing on Dec. 4.
If elected, the Vermont senator would institute an immediate moratorium on deportations and would seek to provide legal status and a pathway to citizenship for people in the country illegally in the first 100 days of his administration.Sanders has said he does not believe the United States needs a border wall, though he did vote for some funding as part of a bill to avoid a government shutdown.
Steyer supports creating a pathway to citizenship and says he would use executive action to give Dreamers legal residency if Congress does not act. He also says he would “reinvigorate” the visa system to attract schools and businesses to the U.S.Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called for an expansion of legal immigration to boost the economy and reunite families.
