Sen. Bernie Sanders' has hired a new deputy national press secretary who likely won't be able to vote in the 2020 election due, because she’s an illegal immigrant.
The Washington Examiner reports Sanders announced Wednesday that he has taken on Belen Sisa, an Arizona leftist activist, who says she was brought to this country illegally from Argentina by her parents at age six.
She’s currently protected from deportation under the DACA program.
Despite her immigration status, Sisa has been active in liberal politics, working in 2016 with the Arizona DNC and for Sanders' 2016 campaign.
She has been arrested at least twice for protests throughout her activist career.
