Sen. Bernie Sanders' new deputy national press secretary likely won't be eligible to vote in the 2020 election due to what she says is her status as an undocumented immigrant.
The hiring of Belen Sisa, an Arizona leftist activist, was announced Wednesday evening. Sisa, who says she was brought to this country illegally from Argentina by her parents at age six, is currently protected from deportation under President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.
Despite her immigration status, Sisa has remained active in liberal politics over the years. In 2016, she worked as a page to the Arizona delegation at the Democratic National Convention and in Latino outreach for Sanders' 2016 campaign.
For someone who was so scared of participating in anything, and coming out and doing this, its pretty hard to believe Im standing in the middle of it all, she said at the time.
Sisa soon lost her fear of participation. She has been arrested at least twice for protests throughout her activist career. As a college senior in 2017, she was jailed for her role in a sit-in outside of Sen. Chuck Schumer's, D-N.Y., office. While in jail, Sisa told reporters that she organized a "prison strike."
Just weeks before that, she was arrested for a protest outside the Senate Hart Office Building. Both protests were over immigration reform and a demand that Congress pass the DREAM Act a bill that would permanently legalize children who were brought into the country illegally "cleanly," without extraneous provisions.
"She's so brave," Sisa's mother said at the time. "DACA is expiring every day. Hers is going to expire in one year and what are we going to do with all of these youth? Congress has to pass the DREAM Act.

How does commie Bernie report her wages to the IRS? Why hasn’t he been arrested for hiring an “illegal alien”? Did Bernie look into her story about being brought here by force by her evil parent(s) when she was six and thereby stranding her in America against her will?
Shes legal under DACA according to the article. Though it is confusing.
What good are laws if they are not enforced! Make an example of Sanders!
Shes here under DACA. Obama presidential fiat says illegals can stay if they came with their parents.
If an illegal is using your ss# and is on a payroll, the illegal’s income taxes collected by the IRS are put into a government slush fund. You are never notified that someone is using your ss#, even though the IRS is aware of the thievery.
As soon as the illegal and immoral DACA decree is repealed, I hope this young lady will be sent back home. If your parents rob a bank, you don’t get to keep the money. If your parents break into my home or my country, you don’t get to live there forever. Crime should not be rewarded. Deport all illegals. No exceptions.
I think it’s tremendously considerate of them to out themselves BEFORE the SHTF, so we don’t have to fumble around, wondering who is the enemy and who to shoot...
Heather Nauert was being considered for UN Amb when they found out she had a legal immigrant who wasn’t entitled to work care for her child as a nanny. Now Ms. Nauert is leaving the State Dept. all together.
Hypocrits.
Bernie Sanders then needs to be immediately arrested. The illegal that Bernie Sanders hired needs to be immediately deported.
Conservatives that opposed the Mediacracy were demonized at the ballot box, prosecuted by partisan prosecutors, and destroyed. Usually, they were prevented from ever winning a primary.
“her status as an undocumented immigrant”
So this site cant speak English?
Who will dare risk the wrath of BJ’s wife’s handlers?
Bernie, need to be charged with aiding and abetting a criminal. But he’s a Democrat, DOJ won’t do their job.
Trump, send ICE and well applaud.
Bernie just showed that he is in total disregard of the law.
Still, 40% of the nation would vote for him regardless
Whew! It’s a good thing he’s not colluding with her to win an election.
The first time she shows up for a press conference, have ICE arrest her, put her in leg irons and cuffs and frog march her out to a waiting van to be rushed to her deportation hearing.
This is the party that believes skill, experience and ability are secondary to "equality".
How many young American women, black American women, would benefit from such a position? A chance to demonstrate their ability.
He illegally hired an illegal alien who is a member of the ethnic majority power structure of her own country.
This is an outright assault on minority populations, especially women and trans-women, of the United States.
I suppose the fact that all of Bernie’s press releases will be in Spanish should clear the field for Kamala Harris.
