Four Democratic presidential candidates pledged to roll back President Donald Trump s executive actions on immigration and make comprehensive immigration reform a priority issue at a forum Friday in Pasadena, California.

The similarity in their positions underscored how Trumps hardline policies have united Democrats on what was once a sharply divisive issue.

Echoing one another over a series of four solo question-and-answer periods, Sen. Kamala Harris , former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julin Castro , Sen. Bernie Sanders and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said they would work with activists to get a comprehensive reform bill to Congress shortly after taking office. At least three of them pledged to do so in their first 100 days. The fourth, Inslee, said he would do so as soon as humanly possible.

Every day that we do not resolve this issue, there are real consequences for real people, Harris said.

The candidates repeatedly spoke with one voice when it came to undoing the immigration policies of the Trump administration.

We have a president who is a racist, who is a pathological liar, Sanders said in his opening remarks.

All four candidates would overturn the travel restrictions on some Muslim-majority countries and reinstate the Obama-era program to protect Dreamers, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. They all repeatedly condemned the White Houses seven-week experiment with systematic family separations at the border last year. Harris called the policy a human rights violation committed by the United States government.

Another theme that united them was ending the reliance on private prison contractors to provide bed space for the migrant detention system. Such a move, which could be accomplished without congressional approval, would drastically scale back a system in which most lockups are privately run as for-profit enterprises.
