The onetime Democratic powerhouse and Nevada kingmaker had similar thoughts about another issue dividing the 2020 Democratic presidential field: whether to decriminalize the act of crossing into the U.S. without authorization.

“There are so many more important things to do. Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list.
