Sen. Bernie Sanders used the Coronavirus outbreak to defend his plan for covering healthcare for “undocumented” immigrants.

During Sunday night’s Presidential Debate, Sanders responded to a question regarding illegals who may need treatment for the virus.

“I have been criticized because the proposal for Medicare-for-all that I introduced includes making sure that undocumented people are also covered,” Sanders said.

“And right now, we have the absurd situation where undocumented people who try to do the right thing, they’re sick, they want to go to the doctor, they don't want to spread this disease. They are now standing and thinking about when ICE Is going to deport them. So we have to make sure that everybody feels comfortable getting the health care that they need. That should be a general principle above and beyond the Coronavirus. Second of all, we have to end these terrible ICE raids, which are terrorizing communities all over the country. “
