Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday said that not all migrants in a group of thousands of Central Americans at the southern border have credible asylum claims, but criticized the Trump administration’s response to crisis.
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders says not all migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border have a credible claim. "You have to look at it case-by-case."

“No, I don’t, and I think you have to look at it case-by-case. But I think what is most important is this country finally is going to have to deal with comprehensive immigration reform,” Sanders said on CNN when asked if every migrant has a “credible claim” to asylum in the U.S.
“So the time is long overdue, and I hope that with Democrats now in control over the House, we’re going to be moving forward to serious comprehensive immigration reform and a path toward citizenship. What we do not want to do is demonize desperate men, women and children who are leaving the horror of Central America, who are looking for asylum,” he added.
