During an interview on Monday, 2020 Democratic candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said she does not think it should be a crime to cross the border illegally.
Warren said this while speaking on the California Nation podcast.
She discussed Section 1325 of the immigration code — which makes it a criminal offense to cross the border illegally.
“Are you in favor of repealing that?” the interviewer asked her.
“I am,” she replied, adding that “criminalizing” illegal entry does not make anyone safer.
“I think that the whole notion of criminalizing the approach to coming across the border without documentation is not making anybody any safer,” Warren said. “We just need to be in a different position on this.”
“It’s really important on immigration that we concentrate our resources on the people who pose threats to us, and that’s not children,” she continued. “It’s not mamas fleeing terror from gangs down in Central America. It’s not people trying to build a life who have family here.”

No problem. Move the 10s of thousands of immigrants being detained into Boston with the proviso that they must remain within city boundaries or be deported. There would be an instant switcharoo on immigration reform from the indian.
