Debate: Mandela Barnes Admits He Favors ‘Immediate’ Citizenship for Illegal MigrantsWendell Husebø 13 Oct 2022
Wisconsin Senate Democrat candidate Mandela Barnes stated during Thursday night’s debate that he favors an “immediate” path to citizenship for illegal migrants crossing the southern border.
“What would you suggest for their pathway to citizenship?” the moderator asked.
“We should process them immediately into a path for citizenship,” Barnes responded. “We need to make sure people who have been here, people who have been working, people who have been contributing, should have a path to citizenship if they so choose.”
Barnes then accused Republicans of “fear-mongering,” which has delayed “comprehensive immigration reform.”
“But the issue has been so demagogued — again, the fear-mongering that is being used as a reason why we do not have comprehensive immigration reform,” he said about Republicans. “They want to scare the hell out of everybody on this issue. It is only making people’s lives worse, making lives more difficult, and it’s contributing to a more inhumane system.”
