Immigration is one of the most divisive issues of America’s 2016 presidential election. On the Republican side, the quality of the discussion surrounding this topic has been pretty poor. Facts have been thrown out of the window, replaced with racist stereotypes. Those GOP candidates with softer stances towards immigrants have either dropped out of the race or hardened their position.

The Democratic candidates, meanwhile, are trying to woo the country’s growing Latino and Asian populations that will most likely be voting for one of them. To this end, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have unveiled immigrant-friendly policy agendas. While they’re similar in some senses, they also differ in ways that haven’t really been fleshed out in the Democratic presidential debates so far.
