Democrat Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently stood up for undocumented immigrants in their call to stop immigration raids, which are currently being held since New Year's weekend in light of the orders from the Obama administration to finally deport and detain U.S. illegal immigrants.

Sending a letter on Thursday to President Obama himself, Sanders, who is currently the Democratic presidentiable candidate, urged that the raids should be stopped immediately so that employment, education and travel authorization by the immigrants may not be taken away, per Sanders' official website.

According to The Washington Post, since the beginning of the year, it has been reported that the Department of Homeland Security has started their large-scale raids of immigrants' homes to be able to detain and deport those who have not been able to comply with final deportation orders.

The effect of such, according to Sanders, have led parents and their children to stop their normal scheduled businesses and schooling out of fear.

"Our nation has always been a beacon of hope and a refuge for the oppressed. As a country, we have a fundamental responsibility to keep families together and welcome those seeking refuge from extreme violence and persecution," Sanders wrote on his letter.

"I am therefore extremely disappointed that this weekend the Department of Homeland Security began large-scale raids in our communities to deport families who made the perilous journey to flee extreme violence," he said of the families seeking political asylum in the U.S. from their home countries that are currently hostile.

Sanders further explained his displeasure to the way the administration handled deporting immigrants. "Raids are not the answer. We cannot continue to employ inhumane tactics involving rounding up and deporting tens of thousands of immigrant families to address a crisis that requires compassion. It is critical to acknowledge that most of this [sic] families are refugees seeking asylum and entitled to humanitarian protection and legal counsel," Sanders wrote.

Meanwhile, Latino advocates have also given their support to the immigrants advising them not to open doors to agents seeking other names when in fact, they are the target. "Invading homes is inhumane and adds to the trauma of these families fleeing violence and oppression," Rep. Linda Sanchez, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman said as quoted by Fox News Latino. "These minors could be our sons, daughters, nieces and nephews," Sanchez added.

The publication further reports that approximately 100,000 immigrants have entered the U.S. borders since 2014. And most cases are from hostile countries like Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
