Bernie Sanders blasts Trump as "racist" at forum on immigration

“We have a president who is a racist, who is a pathological liar, who thinks he can win by dividing the American people by the color of our skin or where we were born,” Sanders. “We are going to do exactly the opposite. We are going to bring our people together.”

The administration is currently appealing the rulings.
