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, it’s pretty hard to believe I’m 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.

I would think that there would be many American citizen Bernie supporters that would love that job.
What about Heather Nauart’s nanny? Was she DACA??
NONE of these DACA parasites should qualify for citizenship, and their parents should be deported. We are under no obligation to reward the squatters who have been here for years, sucking up our tax dollars to educate their illegal children, providing the “social safety net” that they use, and causing anguish to tens of thousands of U.S. families by raping and killing members of their families.
Hiring an illegal alien should disqualify this old Communist from running for president.
I am sick of these people brazenly promoting LAWLESSNESS.
Arrest and fine Bolshevik Barney. It would happen to anyone else.
Comrade Bernie should have stayed in the USSR following his honeymoon.
Arrest both.
The parents aren’t “protected” so deport them.
Maybe obamy sold her one of his social security numbers.
Arrest and deport the illegal alien invader...seize her assets. Arrest the loser commie bernie for aiding and abetting. Seize his assets...exile him. This lawlessness is disgusting and pathetic...but expected from such life-losers.
Trump absolutely MUST order INS to arrest her during a press conference.
Isn’t hiring illegal aliens illegal?
Why isn’t anyone arresting these people?
Social Security is just as bad. If you complain about someone using your Social Security number, they just want to know which wages you didn’t earn and remove them from your account. One the illegal uses your number again, you just have to repeat the process.
Thanks for the info.

IOW, despite the machinations of the DNC, he'll be the nominee. Oh, and he'll have his ass handed to him in November of 2020.
