I can make that promise, i do not want to see them deported. I want to see them on a path to citizenship. That is exactly what I will do. Bernie Sanders More Quotes by Bernie Sanders More Quotes From Bernie Sanders We are not going back. Not only are we not going to retreat on women's rights, we are going to expand them. We are going forward, not backward. Bernie Sanders womens-rightsretreatrights Today, over half of American workers have less than $10,000 in savings and have no idea how they will be able to retire with any shred of dignity. Bernie Sanders savinghalfideas Will I criticize Hillary Clinton on her position of TPP, or the lack of position? Will I criticize her on her views of Wall Street? Will I criticize her on foreign policy? That's what democracy is about, but taking cheap shots at people, making it personal, I don't think that's what politics should be about. Bernie Sanders wallviewsthinking Big business is willing to destroy the planet for short-term profits Bernie Sanders profitplanetsbigs When you talk about heroines and heroes, at the top of the list has got to be the single moms of America. Bernie Sanders momheroamerica I believe, along with Pope Francis and almost all scientists, that climate change is threatening this planet in horrendous ways, and that we have to be aggressive in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel and defeat the Keystone Pipeline. Bernie Sanders climateenergybelieve The fossil fuel industry for too long has shifted enormous costs of carbon pollution onto the public. Bernie Sanders fuelcostlong We need a movement that says in a highly competitive global economy all of our kids who have the ability, the qualifications and the desire, will be able to get a college education regardless of income because we will make public colleges and universities tuition free. Bernie Sanders collegedesirekids Subsidies for the oil, gas and coal industries are projected to cost taxpayers more than $135 billion in the coming decade. At a time when scientists tell us we need to reduce carbon pollution to prevent catastrophic climate change, it is absurd to provide massive subsidies that pad fossil-fuel companies' already enormous profits. Bernie Sanders oilclimateneeds The votes elected officials make should be based on the best interests of the American people, not the fear of retribution when shadowy groups spend millions of dollars on negative advertisements. Bernie Sanders groupspeoplenegative At a time when our planet is warming due to climate change, the last thing our environment needs is more drilling. What we need is for Congress and the White House to move toward clean energy such as solar, wind and geothermal. Bernie Sanders whitewindmoving Corporations can't have it both ways. They can't tell Americans how much they want us to buy their products, but then run abroad to avoid taxes or hire cheap labor. American corporations should pay their fair share of taxes and create decent-paying jobs here - not in China. Bernie Sanders wantrunningjobs Approximately 82% of the American people believe labeling should take place with regard to genetically engineered ingredients. All over this country people are increasingly concerned about the quality of the food they are ingesting and the food they are giving to their kids. People want to know what is in their food, and I believe that is a very reasonable request. Bernie Sanders believecountrykids Debating, doubting, or rejecting the basic scientific facts about climate change in the face of the overwhelming evidence and overwhelming scientific opinion will not change those facts. Bernie Sanders climatedoubtfaces Every candidate running for president has got to answer the following very simple question: At a time when we need to address the planetary crisis of climate change, and transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainability, should we continue to give $135 billion in tax breaks and subsidies over the next decade to fossil fuel companies? Bernie Sanders simplerunninggiving The United States has more people living in poverty than at almost any time in the modern history of our country. I believe that in a democratic, civilized society none of our people should be hungry or living in desperation. We need to expand Social Security, not cut it. We need to increase funding for nutrition programs, not cut them. Bernie Sanders cuttingbelievecountry Do we substantially increase military spending and prepare for endless war in the middle-east, or do we make college affordable for all Americans, regardless of income. My answer: I will soon be introducing legislation that will make public colleges and universities tuition free. Bernie Sanders militarycollegewar Fifty years ago, great schools like the University of California and the City University of New York - as well as many state colleges - were tuition free. Today college is unaffordable for many working class families. For the sake of our economy and millions of Americans, we must make higher education more affordable. Bernie Sanders collegenew-yorkschool What does a political revolution look like? It means that 80 percent of the people vote in national elections, not 40 percent. It means that billionaires can't make unlimited campaign contributions and buy and sell politicians. It means that the U.S. government represents the needs of all the people, not just the 1 percent and their lobbyists. Bernie Sanders political-revolutiongovernmentmean How can the United States be competitive globally if higher education is unaffordable? Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Scotland and Sweden have no tuition for college. Other countries have low tuition. We need the best educated workforce in the world. Instead of spending endless amounts on the military, we need to invest in our young people. Bernie Sanders militaryeducationcountry
